One of my all-time favourite flowers is a red dahlia. It has dark green foliage and I’ve been trying to get it for my garden for a few years now. However, I always seemed to just miss out on getting one.
The flower is the dahlia the Bishop Of Llandaff. It is a beautiful red colour and the flowers sit out from the dark foliage.
Recently I got an email that a place had some in stock. There were no ifs or buts, I just went buy. Buy and then it was delivered. I potted it into a pot and the other day I finally got my first flower.
So here is the first flower from my favourite dahlia.
Wonderful
Thank you.
It’s a beauty!
Isn’t it, thank you Julie.
Beautiful shot
Thank you.
The red bishop definitely my favourite in that Bishop series – and reds are invariably difficult to capture well so this is a very fine photo
Glad to hear it is a favourite for you too Laura, it is so beautiful. Red is very hard to photography, often changes. Thank you so much Laura.
This is stunning, Leanne! That red is so red – just perfect.
Thank you Tim, it is a beautiful red.

Absolutely Brian, thank you.
Never grown Dahlias as I thought they were tricky but yours is gorgeous.
Thank you RJ, they aren’t really hard, but they like lots of food, so you have to keep them well fertilised.
You can be proud of the dahlia and the picture Leanne !
Thank you Rudi.
that’s a stunning flower and so happy you were finally able to get one for yourself
Thank you Beth, I was really happy and can’t wait to get more photos.
Absolutely wonderful Leanne. I can see why you wanted a plant. I bet this one gets extra love
