Dahlias, dahlias, dahlias ....and more dahlias

Absolutely amazing. I have never seen so many dahlias in all my life. I too live in Middlesex and if I knew I would visit the place. Now it is a little too late. Many dahlias but not so many you see at Wisley gardens in Surrey. A small dahlia garden exist in Chenies Manor near Rickmansworth.

Not too late Costas. Will be open for weeks to come. It's on the A414 near London Colney on the road from Hatfield to Hemel Hempstead. The Gardens of the Rose is nearby too if you want to make a day of it.

Thank you Inverglen. I have been to the Garden of the rose dozens of time and I was there in June. It's been on the decline during the last few years and they are now trying to redesign everything. I used to be a member for many year but I decided to cancel it as I do not visit it very often as I used to do in the past.

Thanks for the advice. I didn't know that. It's many years since I have been to the Gardens of the Rose and it sounds like I should wait a bit longer before I visit again.

What a stunning place Inverglen I love dahlias so I've added it to my favorites, thank you for sharing this with us...

Thanks for sharing that Inverglen. Dahlia heaven it certainly is.

Wow...Lucky you Inverglen (thanks for the PM) Its perhaps a good thing that i dont live anywhere near Ayletts Nursery, I would want them all...some beauties there...I just adore 'Alva's Supreme'..'Cameo' and 'Pasodoble'...I have taken a liking for cream flowers recently....Thank you so much for sharing this with us...Gone into my favs for future reference...:>)

I'd find it hard to pick out a favourite, they're all so lovely. What a great place to visit! Pity we're so far away. :-(

Thanks everyone. I got it down to three that I really want but that was trying to be very strict with myself. My wife made her own list. She got it down to eighteen !!!

My list would be more like your wife's list!!

Teegee mentioned your dahlia blog which inspired him to have a walk down memory lane and let us see what he used to grow. Your blog is well worth a visit. Ayletts is too far away for a vist so thank you for sharing.
