2022 Dahlia Tour! 😍🌸🙌 // Garden Answer 

9:20 thank you for setting all of them out on the table and labeling them! I am sure that took quite a bit of time to do 💚

Thank you for taking the time to label them and place them all out on a table! What a treat. The amount of work you put into your videos is MUCH appreciated. 💌

Oh my word you guys!!! (as Laura would say) I know this is your business - you have been very open about that, but this was over and beyond! Your generosity for others and the help you give us is unmatched! This may basically be about gardening but you and Aaron show us so much more! The way you raise your kids, the help and generosity to your family and friends are inspirational and teach us along the way so much more than gardening! but thanks for the gardening too!!!! LOVE IT!!

That mystery purple could be Thomas Edison. Thank you for such a breath taking display!

I have my note pad out, ready to make a shopping list haha. This video may be dangerous for my wallet 😂

The table full of dahlias in the cut flower shed is gorgeous. Benjamin’s zinnia bouquet is precious.

Outstanding presentation! I would take a wide angle photo and have a large poster made and hang in the cut flower shed. You would have a beautiful memory of gorgeous dahlia’s. Thanks for all your videos, GA and coffee is my go to morning inspiration.

Good morning 😃

What an awesome way to show us all your dahlias. So nice to see them all together and see the differences between the different varieties. I thoroughly enjoyed this video, thanks Laura❣️

That beautiful purple looks like Thomas Edison dahlia

That big purple one in the front center is Thomas Edison. That dahlia is the reason I started growing Dahlias this year! It is so beautiful! I love your table of dahlias and have a few new ideas for next year.

☕️Good morning from Michigan Laura and GA friends. Beautiful dahlias go great with my coffee. Thank you, Laura. Thoughts and prayers for our friends and family in Florida and all those touched by the hurricane 🌻🧡🍁🍂🙏

I really enjoyed the video this morning, very calming while waiting on Hurrican Ian to make its way through Florida. I'm sure after the next few days, what Dahlias I have, they will be gone. Before I started watching you and Aaron, I didn't even know what a Dahlia was! Thanks for opening up my world to new flowers! Have a great day everyone, say a little prayer for those of us in Florida.

melody dora is my favorite I think 😍

Laura, this was a genius display of the dahlias! I absolutely loved the “tour!” 💚🌸🥰

These are all just gorgeous! It’s crazy how these flowers are so varied in texture, size, and color, yet are all such true stunners across the board.

I think you’ve won first prize at the flower show! Beautiful. 😊🌸🌸

No way I couldn’t pick my favorite! Each and every flower is unique, all so beautiful. As your video played I thought of how much work you put into these videos. I really appreciate all you do to teach us. Dahlias are one of my favorites, this was a beautiful display of all their beauty. Really, thank you.❤

I can watch this video over and over and over…

How on earth could you choose just one favorite? It’s almost like asking to choose your favorite child... they all have their own unique beauty to them✨🤍

Feel like I died and went to Dahlia heaven!! Glorious!!

That was AWESOME!!!! I gasped when you walked through the flower shed doors!!! What a treat to get to see all of those blooms displayed so beautifully!! And it was so enjoyable to see them one by one and really be able to notice their uniqueness that way!! Thank you for doing that!! It is most appreciated!!

This video deserves a million likes.

Oh wow! That's a sea of gorgeousness! So hard to pick a favorite because I like them all but Innocence is one that stood out for me and the open ones as well, oh and the melon color towards the end.....oh well they are all gorgeous and go so well together! Thanks for the eye feast! Love the table full of colors! 🤗💗💛💜❤💚❤💜💛💗🤗

This is probably the most satisfying video you have made!!!!!!! Absolutely incredible. I love Pooh!!!!!

Good morning, Laura, from Windermere, Florida zone 9b USA 🇺🇸 Beautiful is the only thing I can say! Take care to everyone in Hurricane 🌀 Ian's path. We are preparing for the worst and 🙏 for the best Happy Gardening Everyone 👩‍🌾👍💓

Really incredible to see en masse like that - better able to compare and contrast the different varieties- appreciate all the time that it took for you to arrange all of them so that we can enjoy each and every one. Appreciated all your tips regarding arrangements and vase life too- will be watching to see how your mulching over the winter works out !

Gorgeous Dahlias 😍😍😍

Because of your videos on dalias I picked 4 varieties at a big box store and started them inside then planted out on large pots. I live at 7600 ft zone 5b, with about 90 days growing season. I am enjoying several dinner plate and a couple of smaller varieties. Thank you so much!

I can't pick just one! I had to pause this video repeatedly so that I could create a list of all my SIXTEEN favorites! Thank you for taking the time to create this display!

What a beautiful table - as you would say "glorious" . The flowers look pretty in the ground, but putting them all together on one table makes for a lovely and happy vibe. Thank you so much for putting in the work you did setting up that table in your cute potting shed.

I can’t wait to see the new brickwork by the kitchen door. And the beginning work around the Hartley.

I am amazed on how many textures and styles one flower can make

The mystery flower that looks close too brown sugar can be a cornel bronze. Thanks for sharing your dahlia collection. It’s such a inspiration 😻

Ah Laura, I couldn't help thinking as soon as I saw the table full of those beautiful Dahlias that THIS was what all the planning and dreaming for the cut flower shed was for. ♥️🪷🏵️🌸🌼♥️

Oh MY GOODNESS!!!!! No, there is no way to pick a favorite!! Thank you for this labor of love.

The cut flower shed was the perfect place for this Beautiful Dahlia tour!🌺🌸 Thank you Laura!😍😍😍

Ur dahlias are beautiful, if u r not already a dahlias lover, listening to u, will make anyone fall in love with this flowers. Thank you for the presentation

What a wonderful treat for us this morning. I really appreciate it. I am still experiencing cloud cover from hurricane Ian...no sun since Saturday morning last only rain and thunderstorms. My garden is destroyed. So many thanks for this beautiful display. I think that you should continue with this as a tradition...display of dahlia blooms. Fabulous! Really appreciate it. Thanks for the sunshine on this wet and overcast day.

Ohhhh Laura, these are absolutely gorgeous 😍 I don't know how you remember all the names though. Benjamin did a beautiful job arranging his flowers and such a beautiful color. Your kiddos will have as much talent as you and Aaron. How beautiful to have your children working with you and learning all about these gorgeous flowers and plants 🪴 😍 ❤️ you asked which one is our favorite they all are my favorite lol 😍 so gorgeous. Thank you Laura for sharing these beauties and all the time you took to tell us all the their names .❤️😊 God's blessings to you and your sweet family.❤️💐🌾🌿

The one you’re calling bumble bee is actually bumble rumble. I love that you went through every variety with the names, so thank you!!!

For the viewers that really enjoyed the way Laura displayed her Dahlias on the table for you...I would encourage you to try & find where your local Dahlia Society may he having their shows right now. Dahlias are cut & staged to display on tables. After the 1st day of the judging, the 2nd (& sometimes 3rd day) are then open to the public for viewing. Each table is is set up per variety as well. So all of your Dinner Plates will be together, all Poms together, all Balls together, etc. So this will also help in not only identifying types/varieties but may help you in knowing & showing you what you are most drawn to. A lot of Society's also have a division to enter for Baskets & Floral Arrangements which can be quite stunning to see!! The world of Dahlias is so amazing (I am a 4th generation grower/shower - so have been in it my whole life) with so many colors, shapes & sizes. They vary from the huge Dinner Plates (some which can measure up to over a foot across) down to the Migons (a small daisy like flower that are only 1/2 to 1 inch in size).

Good morning! 🌻🐝

What beautiful flowers and such a nice way to share them. The first large dahlia is probably Thomas Edison and the second smaller purple one is probably blue bell. The slit tips on the petals make it a laciniated dahia form.

Thanks for doing this Laura!!! They are so gorgeous and such a good idea to see them all together. You do such a great job and appreciate you sharing all the beauty you create! 🌸🌞

The big purple dahlia looks a lot like my Thomas Edison. Thank you for this beautiful display!❤

where is your favorite place to buy dahlia tubers from?

When you walked into your shed and I saw those flowers it took my breath away. Gorgeous.

We got our first frost here in Minnesota last night. A local, award winning dahlia grower in our area, cut a nice selection of the dahlias he grows and brought them in to the flower shop where I work. They are for us to use and to sell to our customers. He didn't want them to go to waste and wanted to share the luxurious beauty with others in our area. One variety that I recognized right away, thanks to watching your videos, was 'Pooh'! My word... that dahlia is so beautiful and unique.🥰 I love that your video came out today so I can try to identify a few more. All of them are such an impressive flower!

Thank you for saying nobody can predict the weather. It's constantly changing.

Dahlia's really are the star of the fall garden. It's amazing how they come to life in September. I love how you picked them and displayed them like that in your garden shed. It did help to see them up close without the sun beating on them. Thanks for all your efforts in labeling them and giving us insight into each one. Beautiful!

HOLY DAHLIAS! I was wowed when you opened your shed door! Like when Dorothy opened her home's door when it landed in Oz. What a color video to revisit in the dead of winter.

Oh this is just magical! Feels like Christmas seeing all these amazing blooms. I love how simple your setup is and then seeing how exponentially the plants explode with growth and become their own great structure of rows. Thanks for bringing us along. What a treat!

Hi Laura. I skipped over this post for a couple of days because I've never grown Dahlias. I thought I had no interest in them. By the end of your video, I now have a list of 15 Dahlias that I think I might want to try, if I can find them. Thank you for adding to my plant addiction. /sarcastic smile. Thank you for educating us. /warm, heart felt smile. I really enjoyed this display and tour via samples on the table in your adorable garden shed. Very striking. Very pleasing. Best wishes to you and yours.

I love Laura and her whole family. Autumnal - Bless her heart. I find myself saying it correctly out loud every time she says it. I’m one of those people who easily and unintentionally adapts how other people say things.

I bet your mom would love coming over and seeing this!

Oh my gosh these look so gorgeous! Dahlias are so striking in arrangements! Sometimes the dinner plate-type ones seem *too* big and not workable, but they really draw the eye 🥰

My vote on the large purple unnamed one would be Thomas Edison. Love those collarettes and need to try next year!

I grew Dahlias from seed this year and it was so easy. They were all single flowers but well worth the fun watching to see what color they bloomed.

Laura, that large, unknown, purple-ish dahlia, might be Thomas Edison. That yellow named, Kelvin Floodlight was one of my mom's must have dahlias. Another of my mom's favorites was Otto's Thrill, which is a peachy pink dusted with a gold-ish,⁵ glitter sheen on the dinner plate-sized blooms. You won't see the glitter sheen in pictures, but it's sure there in person. I lost my mom in 2013 but, seeing some of her favorites in your collection was filled me with heart-warming memories of her collection. Thank you!

Cat woke me up as he protected his space from an intruder this very early a.m. so I was up just minutes after Garden Answer posted the Dahlia Tour!!! What a wonderful spectacle! The colors, textures, shapes and sizes are fascinating! I'm inspired to get out my watercolor brushes and paint to attempt capturing these beauties of nature! Thanks for the tour/display!!!!

I love Dahlias. They grow almost like weeds here in New Zealand. Cut the bottom leaves off the plant for air flow and prevent mildew.

If I lived close by I’d enjoy the free flower day! Seeing all those blooms displayed inside the flower room is the best ! Thanks

That purple one could be Thomas Edison. I have one but sadly it didn't come back for me this year. It's absolutely gorgeous!!! I could never pick a favorite. They are all so beautiful. Now I want to go shopping for more dahlias! Hehe

Thanks so much for this table top dahlia tour! It is terrific to see the blooms side by side , showing off size differences, colour nuances and just how many different flowers make up the dahlia family of flowers!! So enjoyable and informative!!

Lovely display of flowers, it’s so hard to believe they are all in the same family!!

was looking through the pictures and little videos on your instagram this morning ( to catch up ) the video you posted for your anniversary brought a tear to my eye....happy belated anniversary....what a beautiful life you and Aaron have created for yourselves and your children ....congratulations and wishes for many more years of happiness together

I am in love with the nameless, big purple beauty.

I was looking around at all the gorgeous flowers but that Ginger Snap just absolutely took my breath away - no matter what, I am always drawn to orange colours and this just absolutely reinforced that I am always drawn to smokey orange/peach flowers

How can anyone pick a favorite! Oh my goodness. Hapet Blue Eyes took my breath away. There's so many gorgeous blooms. Thanks for all your hard work and sharing the bounty with all of us!

This is the most beautiful Dahlia collection I have ever seen!

Clyde's choice... love it!

I cannot choose a favorite! I love how you have done a display, seem to be a rather big chore it is so lovely. Benjamin little arrangement is so special! 😻

Melody Dora looks stunning. It melts your heart

FYI! Your Cafe Con Leche is a mix from Eden brothers and that flower is one of the flowers from it called Sweet Nathalie- a much coveted pretty across the insta-dahlia world! 🌸💛

Free flower day - it’s be neat if other townsfolk decide to join you with their flower harvest and it becomes an impromptu flower festival.

We are a 7a in the mountains of Virginia and we leave our dahlias in the ground every year with no mulch protection and even with our cold wet winters we’ve never lost any. I think if you do what you’ve planned you’ll have good luck with yours

I don’t think I’ve seen so many beautiful flowers, gorgeous

Absolutely stunning display! Here in Australia we’ll be planting our dahlias in about 2 months. I can’t wait 😊

Wouldn't an orange pumpkin as a vase, with all those beautiful yellow, orange and red dahlias be beautiful. That table full of flowers, just made my day. Thank you for all your time. Enjoyed it so much.

I was hoping for this video for a while. I have been fed a bunch of Dahlias today. I love all the dinner plate dahlias. Thank you Laura, your content is always wonderful and I’m so grateful for your generosity & hard work. The presentation is always perfect! How is your mom Susan doing & when will see the question & answer video of you & your dad?

I wish there was more to click than one thumbs up! These are spectacular. I can’t choose a favorite. I have some, but the minute I think I love one best, it’s because of how it looks with another and another. My favorite is the whole tableful of beauty! 🌺🌸🌼

I absolutely loved this video. You get as excited as I do over the blooms. It’s always nice to watch your videos in the morning as I drink my coffee. Your positivity and joy inspire my day.

One thing for sure, I could not pick a favorite. Gorgeous flowers.

Amazing dahlias! I dug up our dahlia tubers last fall and stored them and that didn’t work out sadly, not sure what I did wrong. However, I guess I missed part of the tuber in one spot and it survived with no mulch and came up on its own mid summer lol. I’m in zone 6b and we have pretty cold winters. I was shocked.

Wow my goodness. I cannot pick a favorite. Love them all. I hope they all overwinter for you.

All are so gorgeous! It's impossible to choose a favorite. I wonder how many bouquets Laura will create from all these dahlias.

Can’t wait to see how the dahlia’s do that were left in the ground over the winter!

This was a really great way to see these and easier to make comparisons between varieties. Both similarities and differences and also to see size comparisons. Plus it does make a very impressive display for the table in the cut flower shed. 💜💙💚💛🧡❤️

Beautiful!!! The nameless small purple bowl are "blue boys" one of my favorites and the large purple is Thomas Edison - both gorgeous! Thanks for sharing!!

OUTSTANDING TOUR Laura. Just what we've been waiting for! I've tried growing quite a few of these but I will definitely be adding a few more to my list! I have been gravitating more to the singles as of late. I can relate to dealing with mislabeled dahlias and being frustrated with what they revealed themselves as. Guess that's part of the fun!! Thanks so much for this!

That Godashink looks like a sea creature. So beautiful . Just Love Love Dahlias.

This is the best evidence of a dream come true! Congrats besties! Gorgeous gorgeous blooms. ✨✨

there is noooo way i can pick a favorite. while my oma bred roses, she loved her dahlias. now i understand why. grew them for the first time last year and am in love with them. wish they lasted longer in the vase. thank you.

Loving your beautiful garden xx

OMGGGGGGG!!! How Pretty are these Dahlia's!!! I am in SPRING 2023 TROUBLE ALREADY!!! Thanks Laura!! 🙃🤣 My favorite is Cafe Au Lait as always but after today's show, I love the Bridal Bouquet mix, Vassio Meggos, Night silence, Cafe Conleche, Labyrinth, Emperor, Giggles, and Snow Country. Um, yeh I'm in trouble!! Who else is on the Bandwagon?? 🤣🤣🤣 As Always, good upload Laura! 🌺🥰

Laura, have you dried any of these? If so what type of drying method did you use? It would be fun to see if they do dry and how do they retain color. That Noel one would be fun for Christmas. Your flowers are just so beautiful.

I just loved this video My aunt raised the dinner plate dahlia so for many years that was the variety I loved. She passed away in 1986 and I dug a few of her tubers. As it does, life changes and I lost them. A few years back I grew the smaller dahlias in pots and loved them. Maybe next summer I'll try them again. Thanks for another great video.

My jaw dropped when you walked into the flower shed. I wasn't expecting that lol. Omg they are stunning. Thanks Laura :-)

I was sitting here going "wow, that's my favourite! No, that's my favourite! Hold up, THATS my favourite" I couldn't choose if I tried, they are all so beautiful in their own way and I think the fact that they're presented so beautifully in amongst each other just shows each and every one off to perfection. Thankyou for taking the time to do this for us. I'm new to dahlias, grew a few from seed this year but the drought here in the UK took them early. I've no idea if they will come back but I too will be mulching heavily and crossing my fingers for a return next year!
