There is no better way to spend a wet cold afternoon than day dreaming of the season to come.
While its tempting to just order ‘one of everything’, your bouquets and arrangements will be a lot easier to make if your flower choices have a theme, with the added bonus of creating a restful and tranquil garden to enjoy.
Its a tricky selection process, what will they really look like in your arrangements and garden?
Planning the new season by scanning through the thousands of images taken from right here in my garden last summer is one of my favourite jobs to do and it reminds me that Spring is just around the corner.
While I can’t share every image with you… although if you enjoy my Instagram stories, you’ll know I try!! I have catalogued my favourite and most useful images below.
I really hope you enjoy this brand new edition of the Dahlia Hall of Fame.

Love your beautiful collection of Dahlias and website. I have bought my very first selection in Australia and Café au Lait was on top of the list. I feel an addiction coming on.
Very tempting ! When is the shop open?
Hi Polly, we will email subscribers as soon as we have a firm date…. just need to divide first and check the weather for shipping xxx
What a lovely list. Are all these recommended for cutting with good vase life?
Thank you so much Jenny xxx
What a fantastic array of colours! Bookmarked this to help me when I’m thinking of buying dahlias… 🙂
Thanks so much Ann. I’m so glad you enjoyed the blog x
So beautiful! It’s going to be torture narrowing down my list.
I’m like a kiddie in a sweetie shop, there is so much choice, I can’t wait xx
