Waltzing Mathilda certainly gives you variety - alternating hues of orange, red and yellow, varying as the light changes. This month's new flowers have appeared in another attractive colour combination, see what you think, compared with previous versions:
First year growing dahlias, so decided to make a full cutting garden…. It’s been glorious and I have more flowers than vases!  Just have to work out how to take cuttings now for next year….?
Try looking up, stem tip cuttings, from new growth, in shallow planted Dahlias. IMO this is the easiest method, and some people swear that it gives better flowers, than those from older tubers.
How can you lie there and think of England When you don't even know who's in the team
Some of my dahlias are late-starters; just in time for the frost and slugs to demolish them. 😞 Edited to add: the varieties are Bishop of Leicester and Seattle.
Oxford. The City of Dreaming Spires.
And then my heart with pleasure fills,
And dances with the daffodils (roses). Taking a bit of liberty with Wordsworth
