This was my last video before getting hit by a light enough frost, which would fry the field. A whimsical third year seedling that I love.

It’s been a bit foggy in Whatcom county these past couple days. I noticed the pink in the sky when letting my Darcy dog outside and it screamed “capture this moment.”

We have rain scheduled for tomorrow and I need to finish collecting seed pods. There are still plants that haven’t bloomed so they get a tag but also a note of “NB” for never bloomed. This allows me to see what I can and cannot sell.

I also check the weather religiously this time of year to see about frost. Next Monday it looks like there is a low of 39, which always makes me feel a bit nervous when I see the temps dip into the 30s. We have this microclimate where just a couple miles down they won’t get hit but we will.

One reason I’m a bit nervous is the tagging of seedlings is still happening and I want to ensure that don’t get touched by frost.

For now, what I can do is collect seed pods, finish tagging the ones I know are singles and not a whole row of seedlings (and clean up all those deadheaded seedlings).

Form is Queen. This isn’t to say there isn’t space for dahlias that are a bit more imperfect regarding form based on ADS show standards. But hear me out, when you see a dahlia with magnificent form and you compare that to one with mediocre form, you know which one is better. There, I said it better.

This can be applied to any field of study and art. When we listen to a musician who has devoted their life to their craft, their notes that they put out into the world sound more sharp and brilliant than someone who has only spent a couple years doing it.

Now, I will contradict myself to say that I will still release dahlias that are not perfect form. Why? Because there’s something about them that I think the world needs and wants.

And there you have it I am a walking contradiction. Ha!

Tell me some of the dahlias you have grown, which have mesmerized you based on their form.

On this fall Monday morning, I bring you a fourth year seedling that I just can’t quit.

A glimpse into the seedling patch. Some of these are ones I am keeping for ADS, some I am keeping because they delight me for their beauty & whimsy, some are on the fence. All of them are in their element and not staged or cleaned up, reminds me of messy bun atop my head but my teeth are brushed & face washed.

Which ones would you keep?

One of my favorite Dahlia is this season is from Sandy Boley, Sandia Regal. Last year I went to the trial garden and was amazed at how well this waterlily held its form and color. There were other waterlilies in the trial garden, and although beautiful they did not hold up nearly as well compared to Sandia Regal. If you are not growing, this one yet, it is a must grow.
