Dahlia 1: Tanita, a decorative dahlia I got from Mount Mera Botanical is the first dahlia flowering this late spring.
My fedex package has arrived containing my course work for Floret’s Flower Farm workshop. I’m so excited to be studying online with them for six weeks in January 2026.
This has been a dream I’ve wanted to do for years. #floret #gardening #nzgarden #garden
