Earlier in the year I was so impressed by the pretty Dahlias one of my clients had flowering in her garden, I decided to plant some in our garden for this Summer. About 4 1/2 weeks ago we planted 60 Dahlia Bulbs and this week I cut my very first bunch. My Mum and my Grandmother and Aunty came over yesterday afternoon and each of them picked their own large bunch to take home. It really is such a joy to be able to give flowers from my garden to my family and friends. I can't wait for the Asters and Zinnias to flower in the week ahead...

Buying flowers is great, but getting them from the garden is priceless!

oh they are just divine! not only are they cheaper when they come from your own garden but so much more satisfying. I've planted roses & hydrangeas this spring and can't wait to be able to give them to friends in the years ahead.
They are absolutely beautiful!!
I wish i had more of a green thumb - i am struggling with just a little potplant!
Hope you had a great weekend!

I wonder if dahlias can cope with being in a city apartment garden... the colour of these are so amazing, very envious!
nothing is better than cutting from your own garden... such simple pleasure. That's a beautiful image.
My daughter and I and a friend planted 150 bulbs. I can hardly wait for Spring to see them pop up!
Love your beautiful blooms!

Can't believe how quickly they flowered, wonderful! Nx
Oh my gosh, these are sensational, Anna! You must have been so chuffed, being able to give these glorious blooms to your loved ones. Enjoy the unfolding flowering spectacle over the coming weeks.
Gorgeous!!
Anna, I'm such a warm weather person, but alas, I live in the Western Hemisphere and won't see it for the next 6 months. I'll have to visit here while I wait for warmth and all the greenery and pretty flowers to return.
Dahlias are my fav!
Dahlias are some of my absolute favorites! I love love LOVE your blog, Anna! So beautiful in every way- keep up the great work!
I love flowers so much as well- most weeks I put a "blooms" post on my blog of the arrangements I make for my apartment.
Hope you can make it by!

They are so very luscious and beautiful Anna, and I can't believe how quickly they've grown. I've also planted lots this season but they are still a long way from the first bloom. Must be that lovely weather in Queensland as opposed to significantly less tropical Wellington! I'll just have to live vicariously through yours for a little while yet.
How beautiful!! The clash of colours is just stunning!!
I totally agree with you Sarah! There really is no comparison to freshly picked garden flowers!!

I wish I could grow Hydrangeas Alicia! I've tried but they just don't like me!! I'm thinking I need to plant some roses too as I haven't got any in my garden!!
