We had a restock Jan 31 and WD Aunty Dor was missed! A beauty of a recent 2024 release from the folks at Warwick Dahlias. Oops, our bad! We corrected that this morning. It's there now along with Skeena Jimi and Skeena Mama Kat and more... *orders made before April 1st can be combined (see website for the deets)*

Happy Friday to All!

Sometimes a dahlia turns up in our gardens without its proper name. This is one of those! Bright magenta purple with dark foliage. It was a gift from my sister... 5 years later we discovered the name! Engelhardt's Matador!

Previously sold by us as "NOID JJs Fav Purple"

"Flowers are like Friends... they add colour to our world" - unknown

D 'ay' lia or D 'ah' lia? A little of this or a little of that?
Pink or Lavender? Lavender or Pink? White or Yellow? Yellow or White?

Colours of dahlia flowers aren't always easy to pin down! A few of our Skeena's are a little more of this or a little more of that depending on the temperatures and quite likely soils too. Environmental factors often influence how dahlias grow including the colours of the blooms. Colours can be more intense in hot weather, and less intense in cool weather.

Skeena Posh can blush pinky lavender or more lavender pinky, and sometimes those colours can be so pale in the bloom that it tends to have its feet more in the white colour group.

Skeena Harmonies boasts a combination of 3 colours! A mid yellow bloom that blushes pink with fabulous lavender picotee edging along the petals. Colours tend to be more intense in the early season and heat, and mellow in the cooler temps of late season.

Skeena Glitter has both feet in the pink and both feet in the lavender and both feet in the white colour groups! The lavender tones blush more intense in the hotter parts of season for us, and cooler temps tend to encourage blushing of the pinker tones making her easily confused with Skeena Nana in young blooms.

Enjoy the Dahlia!

We have some Skeena's still in stock https://medeekmeadows.ca

We interrupt our regular programming for this important message!

Diversity is important. Embracing diversity is important. Encouraging diversity is important.

The Dahlia is a natural choice to be a symbol to support diversity. There is no other flower more loved for its diversity than the dahlia!

Some days like Sundays are for trying new things! It's a bluebird day in Terrace and the sun is shining but its crisp, cold and frosty out there!

The clear blue skies got me thinking about the "newish" Bluesky social media platform. I like that it seems to be aligned with "anti-hate" and I hope it stays that way...

It's early days...help us create a Canadian Dahlia community on Bluesky! I created a new feed called "Dahlias Canada" that you can now discover and have your own Canadian Dahlia related posts show up in the feed by simply including the hashtags or .

Over on the blue side you can follow us...bsky.socialbsky.social

Picture Perfect Oh man, growing up on Oldfield road near Victoria BC was amazing! Everyone who knows that road knows! The old Dogwood Farm in the bottom of the little valley next to Bear Hill was a bulb farm way back before I was born and before it became my grandparents farm (I think in the early 50's). To this day, spring still sings out loud with cheerful clumps of bright yellow daffodils blooming in a couple of the fields along the road....

Planning your palettes? We realized we hadn't updated our Dahlia Bouquet Gallery with any photos of bouquets from last season. That sure sent me down a rabbit hole for a few hours! I love to go back through the photos to see what we used for colour combos and fillers over the years.

The vibrant rainbow dahlia bouquets are never not fun! They can be challenging to put together if you don't have blooms in a critical colour! You need all the brights! Funny, I don't think we've put together any pastel rainbows! Maybe this year :)

My top 3 favourite greens for bouquets are sunflower bud stems, cosmo greens and dahlia bud stems! All three are triple threat dynamos. Grow them for the greens, the buds, and the flowers! The greens are great filler. The buds add interest and textures. The flowers add the fireworks!

This year on re-opening day we made sure to offer sale prices on approximately 25 beautiful dahlia varieties! All of them are excellent cut flower varieties and great choices for the garden. You still have time to take advantage of sale pricing before it ends January 10th (midnight).

Be sure to take a peek at the collections where you'll find some hidden treasures that may already be sold out as individuals! Magically Hip, New Rodeo, Heavy Petal, Ball Room Blitz, Hanky Panky & Roll The Dice.

Restocks! We will restock sold out varieties over the next few months as we're able (there are always more of some varieties and less of others). We do our restocks on an adhoc basis, so best to follow us on FB/IG and subscribe to our emails (new option in the last month) for notifications, or check in on the website from time to time.

Remember we can combine orders for you until March 31. See the website for details!
