We seem to have crossed another important seasonal time point in the garden with the first decent displays of lilies appearing in the borders and Balthazar-the-Dahlia (an old faithful variety, perhaps the first dahlia we had and thus the start of the interest in them) putting out an excellent initial bloom.
It’s also raining today – proves it’s summer-time.
Balthazar
Indeed – Balthazar was the start of it all…..so far as dahlias are concerned, anyway.
