The hour has come that the ancient, but legendary, Dahlia David Howard will be surpassed. After more than 50 years, European, World and Olympic champion 'orange Dahlia' it looks like this Statue of Orange is going to break all her records. At the moment she is still competing with the juniors but as it looks the Statue of Orange has the talent to break all records. What a great Dahlia. I first came across her at her winner Peter Komen in the field. As if you were walking into a wall. A big thick wall decorated with countless ‘Jack o Lantern’ orange cheerful flowers. Dear people, what a beautiful Dahlia this is. Let's hope that this Statue of Orange does not suffer any injuries or other ailments then we can perhaps enjoy her for as long as we did enjoy the David Howard.
At first glance, there seems to be little difference between these two rivals, as can be seen from the photos. In reality, however, the Statue of Orange is a bit larger and fresher. So is her foliage, exactly the same mysterious appearance but still a bit more youthful. Plant her and enjoy."

Dahlias
The Dahlia truly deserves every bit of love she receives. Every gardener should be placing her om a pedestal: Dahlias carry flowers for a long time, and in a large number. Even when autumn is approaching, you don’t need to worry: the Dahlia will be there to give your garden those last few rays of sunshine.
Planting dahlias:
Dahlias are summer bloomers and should be planted in spring, after the last night frost, when the soil temperature is at least 15°C. Plant the tubers about 40 cm apart for tall varieties and 30 cm for shorter varieties. For pots, choose very large pots, because dahlias need a lot of water in the warm summer months. Plant them just under the soil, about 2 cm deep.
Dahlia care
When your Dahlia is a few weeks old and has formed 3 or 4 pairs of leaves, you can choose to pinch out the top growth point. This may sound strange, disturbing a plant in its growth, but it ensures that the Dahlia becomes more compact and fuller in shape. Because the growth point has been pinched out, 2 new stems emerge from the leaf axils of the two leaves below. So you get a fuller Dahlia in return. If you do this, you will delay the first flowering of the Dahlia by about a week.
