your gardening is very impressive. I'm jealous of your dahlias – the collarettes are my favorites – where we garden we rely on bore-water and the salinity level is fine for most things -except dahlias! Our only dahlia is grown by the Shade-house where I water it with rainwater only. During our drought we didn't have a lot of rainwater to spare so it was touch-and-go! Good winter rain this year!
I like the idea of that pepper – must see if it is available here in Australia,
cheers
fermi

Hi Vanessa – thanks for asking about this – I edited the photo caption to include the variety names now. That one is a Logee's cross named 'Northern Lights', and a great one! Thanks!!

What a lovely Dahlia (Alpen Fury)! One of my favorite anemone form Dahlias is "Polka" !
I have to look , where I can buy "Alpen fury " in Germany.
