Last year I grew Dahlia Wizard of Oz, it has a nice pink pom-pom flower, more pom pom than I usually like and yet despite this I was pleased with it. Not pleased with it enough to take a photograph of the flower it would seem, but I know I was pleased with it.
The plant overwintered well enough and soon started growing when the weather became warm enough. I was very pleased by this and fed it and watered it in encouragement.
It has just been green. Emerald City green I hear you ask?
Not at all, that is a horse of a different colour...... (see what I did there?) I think probably in revenge for me not taking a photograph of the flower last year, it has decided to sulk.
Just when I thought nothing was going to happen this year....
I noticed a tiny bud forming.
Too late my dear, too late.
I am sure this is revenge for not taking photos of it when I should have last year.
