Dahlias

I planted some Dahlia tubers back in March and it took a long time for them to grow. A couple of them rotted due to over watering. Look at the Dinner Plate Dahlia that started blooming 3 days ago. It's so beautiful. It is a surprise variety because I had thrown away the package and I didn't know what it was. I googled and found out that it's 'Mystery Day'.

Honey Suckle Vine

I bought this vine a month ago from a local nursery, transplanted it in the ground, it looked like it was in a shock. A few days ago, I noticed some new sprouts, Hooray!!! Hopefully it will survive and grow well.

Black Eyed Susan - Rudbeckia

One of my favorite flowers! I got a couple of them from Home Depot, they seemed to be slow in the beginning. They even looked like they had leaf rot due to over watering. Now they seem to be thriving well. I absolutely love them. I also bought a purple coneflower plant, yet to put it in the ground.
These are the dwarf variety.
