Bright & Fun - Dahlia 'Giggles'

What an appropriate name!  You can't look at it without at least smiling.  'Giggles' is another beautiful collarette, planted next to 'Alpen Cherub' and they are a great pair.  These collarettes are tall and graceful with long stalks and rather insignificant foliage.  This bloom is smaller and shorter than it would normally be - standing about 3' tall and 3" across.  It wasn't planted till mid-July and we are now close to frost.  There was a frost warning last night but our dahlia blooms survived.  Other people in the Halifax area had frosty windows and lost their begonias and dahlias - it seems we're in a good spot!
