Author Message   Eileen  My Garden Journal My Weather Posted on Thursday, September 06, 2007 - 01:36 pm EST :    Linda mentioned sharing pictures of dahlias new this year, therefore exciting to see. Here are some new dahlias for me this year. Eileen Pennsylvania Zone 5   Dahlianut  Supporting Member My Weather Posted on Thursday, September 06, 2007 - 05:22 pm EST :    Nice pictures Eileen. I'm not sure that is Chilson's Pride. The color is close but CP doesn't have split ends. Check out this sight. http://www.dahlias.net/dahwebpg/Gallery/GalleryHtms/Chilson'sPride.htm Linda Washington State Zone 8   Lovinlife  Posted on Thursday, September 06, 2007 - 06:02 pm EST :    Beautiful. I love the shape of Vista Lindsey. Lovinlife - Utah, Zone "5"   Eileen  My Garden Journal My Weather Posted on Thursday, September 06, 2007 - 06:14 pm EST :    Thank you Linda. Chuckle - Swan Island is the source and I ordered Chilson's Pride. Check out dahlia.org. Isnt' this fun?! Eileen Pennsylvania Zone 5   Poochella  My Time Posted on Saturday, September 08, 2007 - 10:31 am EST :    Beautiful flowers Eileen. I love the ball dahlias in any color. And Vista Lindsay I'd just want to pet! My Chilson's Pride has blunt tips, but the same colors as in your photo. I googled several sites and it looks like the vote is split, on split tips. Maybe they split as the flower ages? I cut mine before they get a chance.

But the picture I took was of a full bloom, older than some and perhaps fading. Some new blooms are almost white. Whatever, I like it and that's what counts. Eileen Pennsylvania Zone 5   Eileen  My Garden Journal My Weather Posted on Wednesday, September 19, 2007 - 02:36 pm EST :    Linda, Chilson's Pride as the bush gets older, is starting to have blooms with fewer splits and more like the SI picture. Eileen Pennsylvania Zone 5   Poochella  My Time Posted on Friday, September 21, 2007 - 12:02 am EST :    That you like it is indeed what counts, Eileen, and we can't fault your taste! I noticed in the past week or 10 days, as the sun wanes, the pigments in the lighter flowers is really fading. Chilson's Pride are barely pink and look mostly white from a distance. Same for Bracken Ballerina. Brookside Snowball looks good though! I am over denying that summer is still here: it's cold and wet and it's Fall. Poochella - Western WA, Zone "7"   Eileen  My Garden Journal My Weather Posted on Friday, September 21, 2007 - 08:37 am EST :    Whimper, Fall? October is approaching. We probably frost sooner than the NW coast, so I'll wait until frost. Inca Trident and a few others haven't decided to bloom yet, but have teasing buds. Agreed Pooch, Brookside Snowball hasn't changed color Eileen Pennsylvania Zone 5
