Summer flowers




This year we have had the most magnificent flowers on our deck every! Instead of planting the dahlias in the ground we put them in containers on the deck. This last few weeks, with the weather getting cooler they have gone wild! The colors are beautiful and one of them is so large it is falling over on the stem! And, not to forget the sweet peas with a little visitor!

Great photos! Do Dahlias get larger every year?

I'm not sure if they get larger or not! I think this may have something to do with the weather getting cooler. Also, this year I planted them in containers and I think that made a big difference!
