Flowers again

A couple of years ago, I found a soupy concoction in a bag in the garage, which turned out to have once been dahlia bulbs. Tesco Finest, apparently, though it didn't look particularly fine. The bag had been in a box, in a cupboard, which is hardly ideal growing conditions. All the same, one bulb had prevailed, albeit producing the most anaemic shoot what ever shooted. So I planted it, and it struggled for a while, but it managed to flower, and very nice it was too.

Took a picture of it today, at the end of its third summer. It's still doing nicely, though it's bloody cold tonight, so I don't know how much longer it will keep going this year. Hopefully it will see out the month.
