Dahlia 'Hypnotica Electric Pink' (poorly named IMO)

Lilium 'Stargazer'

Lilium 'Lollypop' - Unfortunately the flower heads droop so I need to move them further up the slope. You have to practically lie on the ground to see them

I have lots more but that'll do for now.

I thought you might have some SY, being ahead of us here, thanks.. all nice, but I rather like the Lollypop.. fun way to take a pic..

SYinUSA · June 2023

I've had dahlias in bloom since mid-April

I've been waiting for the thread to pop up. The Lollypop photo is a couple of weeks old - they're already done.

Superb daylilies.. I especially like 2,..the first one 'GPG'.. and 'Dark Monkey'.. I only grow the spider form of daylily and I think they would conform to that..
Yours are out before mine, which I hope will start in a day or two..

Thanks for starting this thread @Marlorena I absolutely love dahlias … two of my dahlias have had one flower each so far. The first was a Jill variety, I’m not sure which one though, I’ve had it for quite a few years.

The second came out yesterday, La Recoleta, it’s a new one this year for me, I chose it as it’s a very dark dahlia which I’m hoping will contrast well with the others I’ve got. The photo has made it look lighter than it looks in real life. Unfortunately it’s been munched, my dahlias have not suffered much with this in the past so fingers crossed future ones will look better.

Beautiful Dahlias.. I especially like the first one..

I've ignored Dahlias for a very long time, but now find I'm in love with Pompon's.. never used to like them much.. so if anyone has a Pompon to recommend, I'd like to hear about it..
'Burlesca'..
