Project 365 Day 320: Dahlia In Bloom


Our dahlia flower that spent the summer out on the deck in a small pot fooled us into thinking we had killed it sometime around August. We never got around to disposing of the dead (so we thought) plant matter, and after another month had passed we were surprised and pleased to see that some new green growth had started sprouting. We continued watering it weekly, and eventually brought it inside to our living room window-side table to put it next to our other indoor plants. The growth continued, and in the last few days the first flower from the reborn plant has blossomed, as shown here. Will wonders never cease!
