Pink Flowers

More dahlias have bloomed! They've been very late bloomers this year, but that's made them such a wonderful autumn treat. When I look out back towards the garden I see lots of pink! Pink from the snapdragons that are so full and continuing to bloom, and pink from these dahlias!

Then when I look out the front window, I see more pink! These chrysanthemums are so full too! This is their second year and I was worried they wouldn't survive the winter. I took cuttings of the darker color, they have rooted and are in the front planter growing. I am only counting on one to survive, but they all seem to be doing well so far. Later I took cuttings of the lighter dahlia, but they haven't rooted yet. I think the stems I took were a bit too small. I will try again with them and have lots of geranium cuttings to take. Maybe next year the front planter will be full of flowers!
