I'm beyond thrilled to see my very first Dahlia bloom slowly unfurl. The tuber packaging says it's 'Bristol Stripe', but I have my doubts. The plant, now almost the size of a shrub, has grown without any fuss here in Moose Jaw, SK (Zone 3b). No pinching, no pesticides, just full sun, some rain, even a few thunderstorms and generous fertilization. Happy Gardening, everyone!
