More of the same but with some welcome vertical interest. Love those tall dramatic spikes. I’m actually surprised to see that the big dahlias are not surviving on the plant for much longer than the ones I’ve cut, but that’s possibly because of the rain pelting them this past week. Either way, it makes me feel better about taking more of everything inside.

• ‘Café au Lait Royal’ (the big pink dahlia)
• 2 ‘Diana’s Memory’ (the smaller blush dahlias)
• ‘Arabian Night’ (the dark dahlias in the back)
• Calendula ‘Cantaloupe’ mix
• Hydrangea arborescens ‘Annabelle’
• Gladiolus, unnamed from a bag of mixed bulbs
