Blooming late

I finally see the imperial dahlia blooming this year on the path of my regular walking course. There were terrible typhoon attacks to fall the tall stalk down in my garden before they prepared buds.

I’m very sorry not to have those beautiful flowers in my garden. I need to replant them where storm doesn’t go through for next year.

But they like the sunshine in the south and no light at night. It seems difficult for them in the garden, instead better like in the field without shade of buildings.
