The thing about dahlias

The thing about dahlias is that their foliage looks like a big weed.  I'm always tempted to yank them early in the season because I can never remember what it was we planted there in the first place.  Once they finally bloom, I'm always glad I waited.  Dahlia's are like the Ugly Duckling of flowers with a beautiful surprise at the end.  This blossom was a good 5+" across.  One year we had a big purple one as big as Sadie's head.  Awesome!
