Dahlias growing well

The new dahlia boarder is growing and flowering really well. The huge white one is doing too well or maybe it's my failure because I did not think of staking the plants earlier in the season. Anyway half the stems broke and were laying on the lawn. Rather than loose all the flowers Sue trimmed them and arranged them in a jug as none of our vases were big enough. Not the best cut flowers but they do look good
