I like the "pokers" - think I prefer the yellow ones to the old traditional ones.

Intrigued by the "baby beehives"??

thanks all

I can not believe how hot it is 31 degrees or in old money 87 f

Wylie if I could only get closer and no way am I putting a beesuit on in this heat !!! but I was well chuffed I do have another about to flower a couple more days ...
I think the dahlia is "Vuurvogel"

Steragram I will hunt a photo down "baby beehives" they are half the size of a normal hive and will be full productive hives next year ( all have this years new queens in)

Linclass I aint doing much apart from water the greenhouse and baskets tonight

Daylily & Klahanie , thanks both and more new varieties to come the "painted lady" is starting to change colour I thought I had the wrong one but comes out red then the bottom colour fades , I am waiting on " Chichi" I bought the last one and they told me they will not be making any new stock of this for a couple of years ?
