Worth the wait.....
Earlier this year, I
brought home some plants from a local nursery, which I regularly visit. Among
these plants was one Dahlia plant, I had planted for the first time. Though,
I've been gardening for quite some time now, this was the first time, I had
planted a Dahlia plant. The Nursery owner, who himself was unaware of the
colour of the flowers this particular plant was to bear, wasn't able to give me
a clue about the colour, hence, it was again an unbearably long wait. A few
weeks ago, I was able to see some buds in the plant. It again took around ten
days for the bud to grow up sufficiently and then another week to completely
bloom up. I finally got a purple coloured Dahlia flower, after more than two
and a half months of wait. But, then, my wait finally has been paid by the
beautiful flower. Here are a few snaps of that flower.
Since
this was for the first time that I have planted a Dahlia, I didn't knew that it
needs support, to keep it standing upright, but, lately, I understood that and
used a dried sugarcane to support my Dahlia plant. This flower looks awesome in
looks, but, for sure, it takes about close to a week for a bud to completely
open up into a flower, but, it's also a fact that the flower stays for long.
Look at the velvety texture of the flower that's shining in some of the petals.
So, I must say that the flowers are worth the wait.
Nice effort...... Looks like painting.......
