No idea what you are supposed to do. It's rather strange.<BR/>I had a dahlia very similar to yours several years ago and thought it was lovely. They make great cut flowers but I hate the big dinnerplate ones and the pom pom ones.

They do fill up lots of gardne space and are prolific in the right spot.chic_toohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12284091359703759576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7750720746807403757.post-8240426845790329092009-01-07T21:42:00.000+13:002009-01-07T21:42:00.000+13:00Vine hoppers are these evil little sap-sucking ins...Vine hoppers are these evil little sap-sucking insects that infest passionfruit vines, but also lots of other plants. They almost killed our passionfruit last year because we weren't paying attention and it was infested. This year they're on the hydrangeas, flax and are about to infest the jasminoides. Much as I hate it, I'm about to get out there with the nasty stuff and do them in otherwise they'll damage the plants. When I first moved here I thought both the juveniles (who have fluffy bums) and the adults were cute, little did I know...Jacquihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01192730590127098720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7750720746807403757.post-79517725130518811242009-01-07T10:31:00.000+13:002009-01-07T10:31:00.000+13:00Paul bought a cashmere dress coat for work, and al...Paul bought a cashmere dress coat for work, and already two buttons are loose. He was going to take it to an alterations place just for the buttons because this coat's so expensive, but I insisted on sewing on the buttons *myself*. He was literally amazed I could do a good job at what he thought of as magical. <BR/><BR/>I'm sure he's never considered asking me to darn a sock before!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07021770115814947960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7750720746807403757.post-14243163871994600132009-01-07T06:24:00.000+13:002009-01-07T06:24:00.000+13:00i too think the first picture is the best out of a...i too think the first picture is the best out of all three....what is a vine hopper?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
