Cee’s Alphabet with a Twist this week is an L with multiple syllables. I love those big dinnerplate dahlias at Brookside.
That being said, for this shot at least, I preferred how the opening dahlia looked. What do you think?

yep, I liked the opening one too. I planted a few dahlias this year. They all died.

I’m sorry to hear that. Maybe you’ll have better luck next growing season.

Hope so. I have some weird garden disease going on lately. No one knows what it is. It’s killing and mutilating a lot of my plants.

I hope you figure it out soon. If not, maybe you can find something hardier to plant so you still have some seasonal beauty.

thanks, I do still have a few hardy plants. Mums came back this year. Best ones are all weeds, of course- Lantana and clematis are all over the place and I can’t get rid of them!

I love Clematis, but I’d imagine they’d take over a space quickly if they aren’t reined in.

yes, they’ve completely taken over my yard. It started with a small bit of vine along the back fence, I thought the little white flowers were pretty, so I left them alone. They sent seeds all over the place. Now they sprout constantly all over the yard. They get mowed over in the grass, so not a big problem. But they grow really fast all over the flowers and trees I have.

Yeah I can imagine how annoying that is. Could you plant a more agressive grass seed to choke it out of your lawn?

I have no idea. My grass seems to be doing OK, it’s pretty thick. I suppose there might be some kind of specialized poison for this sort of thing. I’m not really that concerned about the lawn. It all gets mowed over anyway. I just pull the weeds out of the flower beds when I get around to it (when it cools down once or twice a year)

The problem with those herbicides is that it seldom just kills what you want it to kill.

very true, simple example of the ‘law of unintended consequences’. I pretty much leave my plants alone. Darwinism in action. 😉
