It wasn’t blooming much at all. Just a typical one or two blooms. Then I dead-headed it and came out a week later and the 2 blooms are now like 13 or 14. Yes, 13 or 14 shoots with blooms. I think I counted 14 in this picture and there are more that this camera angle could capture. It’s insane! And I love it. It’s ridiculously large. I should take a picture of my over-run garden and compare it to the picture of when I first planted it all. There is quite the difference!

So as you may *or may not* remember. I planted a Dahlia in my garden. It was called sunburst or something like that. Orange with a tinge of yellow. Well, it’s now massive! And the most peculiar thing happened. Other than it quadrupling in size the flowers that are now blooming are red. Deep deep red. Maybe it crossed with my red or pink Nicotina plant on each side of it. Check it out. You can see the old blooms in the back. They are still orange but all the new ones (like 10 or more) are now red. I like it better. I’m not a big fan of orange…
