Irritating Plant of the Month - October 2017

Stand up Dahlia Waltzing Matthilda, you are this month's irritating, nay, really annoying plant.

You have been flowering really well, but then just when I need you to be in flower....

........you were tightly in bud.

So I cut some stems and brought them into the warm of the house to see if that would encourage you to open.  You did a bit better and so you did make it into my daughter's wedding bouquet.

But only one bloom,

and you were not really noticeable.  You should have been the star of the bouquest, but you let the others take over.

You only have yourself to blame.
