On the 8th day God woke up, created Water Lily and said to Adam and Eve: "Behold, perfection!"
A local man I've recently purchased 4 chili plants from has a pond next to his house. This time of the year it is full of blooming water lilies. Could not resist. Had to take a few pictures and share it with you.
I printed the 5th one big and soon will be hanging it on my wall!

Those are all winners! #5 would edge the others by just a tiny fraction in my favorite rating too!

They are all real stunners! It would be so hard to decide on a favourite...But probably #4 and #5.
Thanks Robert! It is always a joy to be invited into your world for a time via your photos.
Love,
Sandy

Sandy, do you remember me trying to grow a new Dahlia last year?Sandy wrote:They are all real stunners! It would be so hard to decide on a favourite...But probably #4 and #5.

It did not work, the plant would never grow properly or bloom, for some strange reason. I had to throw it away.
Guess so, I gave it a second try this year. Bought a new bulb and planted it in early April.
Well, for once the packaging did not lie...
This is what they are showing on the packaging (last year's picture)...
And this is what I got today morning after, finally, the first flower opened up...
I believe this is the most beautiful Dahlia out there. And it looks exactly as advertised... The only bad thing is that it does not smell at all. Unlike my other Dahlia (Paso Doble), which does smell nicely.

BEAUTIFUL!!!! Robert I do believe your flower is even more gorgeous then the one shown on the package. I do remember your great hope for the new dahlia last year. I am so sorry that one did not do well. It always pains me a little to loose any of my plants. Your Dahlia photo would be another great one to show off on your wall like your water lilly.
love,
Sandy
