More dahlias - Thomas Edison, Chilson’s Pride, Mikayla Miranda and a general view of the fabulous new pink-painted dahlia stakes and pink dahlias. So wonderful to be able to pick bunches of flowers in October #dahlias #dahlia #octoberflowers #cuttingflowers #cutflowers #cuttinggarden #fallflowers #autumnflowers #dahliachilsonspride #thomasedisondahlia #mikaylamiranda #stakingdahlias #northviewgarden

Dahlias are still in full bloom at Northview Garden. I love the symmetry of the ball and pompon dahlias. They are fabulous in arrangements with asters, zinnias and salvias. Top left clockwise Tiny Treasure, Betty Ann, Polventon Supreme and the odd one out that is crazy is Vancouver #dahlia #dahlias #dahliasofinstagram #northviewgarden #cuttinggarden #cuttinggardenflowers #pompondahlias

Bad day ay Northview Garden - today we discovered Spotted Lantern Fly on the River Birches. They are attracted to Ailanthus and Styrax but I had not seen them on the birches before. Get the strongest fly swat and swing away. It may take several tries to kill them. Last video shows the wasps that are attracted to the honeydew coming out as the SLF sucks out tree sap and then the black sooty mold that grows on the honeydew when it falls. What a mess. This is an introduced pest - please do your part to stop its spread #spottedlanternfly #pest

Ten views of the Walled garden designed by Tom Stuart-Smith at Broughton Grange in Oxfordshire in 2000. Overflowing beds coalesce to create a seamless sea of plants. Seedheads and stalks are left standing to provide structure in the autumn and winter. Tawny shades predominate at this time of year. Structural verticals provide needed height. #broughtongrangegarden #broughtongrange #tomstuartsmith #tomstuartsmithsgarden #oxfordshiregarden #englishgarden #perennialgarden #gardensofinstagram #gardendesign

Triangular walled garden at Kelmarsh Hall with Dahlias, Verbena, Verbascum, Delphiniums, Salvias and other fall flowers.
