(Zone 9b) So I walked into the grocery store today and did a double take….
There are two planters in front of the store that look like they've been abandoned. One of them has nothing but weeds in it, the other one has some weeds and THIS. A (mostly) healthy dahlia plant (unknown variety) with big, beautiful, green, mostly pest free leaves – and huge ass blooms ….. Of course the abandoned dahlia is THRIVING…. OF COURSE IT IS!!
All the while, my little struggle bus dahlias that get all the love and attention they could possibly need are doing the best that they can here at my house 😐.
The dahlia gods are laughing at me y'all 😩

This is an automatic reminder regarding r/dahlias Rule 3:
When reasonable*, posters should make a good-faith effort to identify which variety/varieties are shown in their photo(s). If you don’t know for certain, please say so. Someone will usually know!
*Common-sense exceptions to this rule will be honored, such as if the photo does not contain a blossom, or if your photo contains large volumes (such as in wide field shots).
If you’ve already done this, thank you! No further action required.
If not, please add a reply to this comment and confirm if you know the name of your dahlia variety/varieties shown in the photo(s). Alternately, if you’re uncertain of the variety name(s), it’s ok to say that, too.
