June 01, 2007 Hybrid Dahlia " Vuurvogel " (firebird) or Texas NIghtmare

.

.We spent most of the day arranging flower boxes around the sundeck and along the gallery railings. I have about 40 dahlias still in pots whereas a dozen foot high ones have already been put in the earth in my front garden. The gladioli... about 60 all told .... are waxing beautifully and pushing skywards..... although still in pots as seen in video show above. There remain 6 or 7 small gardens here and there throughout the backyard to be allotted their own varieties and maybe 6 more hanging baskets from the trees to brighten up the whole shebang.
