Secret Dahlia...

The Easter bunny brought seeds earlier this spring and we promptly planted them indoors.  They took off and we had hundreds of little sprouts within a couple of weeks.  April then lulled us into believing it was warm enough to bring plants outside, and we lost mostly all of the little plants in a cold snap.  Just a handful of dahlia plants made it, and now they are absolutely going bananas.  Every day I check to see if they have opened... and these coy little buds are keeping quite tight lipped about their color.  It was a "dwarf mix" pack of seeds, so I really don't know what to expect here.  I cannot wait for them to bloom!

...And look at the funny little guy I caught swimming around...
