    it may be a struggle to reach the top, but once your over the hill your problems start.

          Info from the Peter Nysen website :

          “Pinkish orange with a tangerine centre. Dahlia Totally Tangerine is an anemone flowered dahlia, single petals surround a fully double centre, the reverse of the petals is rose-pink giving added contrast. A pretty recent introduction”

          Plant height approx 2ft

          I’m hoping to take cuttings of these next year - never tried cuttings. Always just separated the bulbs....perhaps we could try a swap Rary if I manage to grow some more!

              • My Flower of the Day today is calendula marigolds, looks very similar to a French/African marigolds.

                    • That must be a big plant Rary - you probably wouldn’t miss a few cuttings taken off it

                        • ^^^^ Nothing to do with the Vine, its my kindle I keep getting a message- not enough memory for this, and I have enough problems with memory without any from a kindle
                          As for your rose which looks very nice, is it one of Austin's Old English?

                          • Yes, it’s a David Austin shrub rose - interestingly they say the colour is soft gold, the buds being apricot.It has a lovely fragrance and repeat flowers so it’s a winner for me

                            • ^^^^^Very nice I like those roses though have never had success with David Austin roses they don't do well in a wet cold climate

                              • Wiltshire has very good weather and my garden is South facing so I get some good sun. Not brilliant for. Gardening in this weather though as it rarely gets shade. Been doing my chores early morning.
