Plant love, hypocrisy and Dahlias

Now after ranting about water and bragging about reducing my lawn, a confession. I love Dahlias. Why? I don't know. I don't like daisies and they look a little like daisies. I hate Chrysanthemums and they look kind of like Chrysanthemums. They take up enormous space and then disappear for months; I hate that. And of course, the use up lots and lots of water.

But. . .

They are gorgeous. When they decide to grow, they grow! Fast and furious, up and up, then boom! Flowers! Lots and lots and lots of flowers. In incredible colors and shapes and sizes.

I love Dahlias.
