School started and I have so little time to go out in the yard. But, here are a few:
HH Dr. Rick - This one stopped growing at about 3 inches and just sat there for a month. I wasn't sure it was ever going to grow. It has stayed a nice red.
Jac's Heather - WOW - what a nice surprise. I would call it pink rather than lavender.

If it makes tubers, you can have one.

Very nice, Sylvia. That looks like the Aja I am familiar with.
I picked the first round of blossoms from AC Skagit today. Oh my goodness, the thing is a flower machine and so pretty! I will photograph it next time it is full of bloom. I got a whole bucket full of peachy orange dahlias off one plant...and they are so pretty with their black leaves!
And no way is it yellow like the website says! It is a lovely soft peachy orange...long dark stems, B sized flower.

Amanda! Glad it bloomed for you! Mine are waiting for cooler weather to bloom again. It looks coral in your garden, too.

My AC Skagit also had peachy orange tones with that awesome dark foliage. The centers blew out a little quickly in the heat here to make nice cuts...but definitely worth a second year!

No center in first year and it is culled. No center in third year is a huge disappointment and one of ours is doing that.
I'm glad it is getting culled before disappointing me though...Far too many I bought this year from multiple sources doing the open center thing...

Our Cafe' Rose' is going into the weathered wood arrangement. Flowers are huge and may measure to be giants. Too bad it does not make a lot of tubers as it would be very popular. Our Scandinavian visitors really liked it and I will work out a method to get it to them. Maybe they will give it to the Dutch growers and then we can buy it at Costco.

Very pretty, Viking, but it doesn't look like Dragonberry to me... too big, with too pointy petals, and wrong colors. Still worthy of a place in your garden, though!
I like Greta a lot, Benny. How is the plant behaving for you? Looks loaded with blooms...
