White Dahlia Flowers

In autumn these single white dahlias have been a beautiful feature in the Stables Border. They have always flowered late, and have had the Penstemon called 'purple passion' for company.

There's not been enough water for dahlias to do well the last few summers. I also wonder if the tubers have been frost damaged - possibly by winter frost. I just don't look after my dahlias properly!

I'm sorry to say that the white dahlias have simply disappeared from the Stables Garden. Oops.
