24 degrees F didn't knock them out, but the plants got a one-two punch and succumbed at 17 degrees. I shot the following photos before the season shut down.

Last dahlias of the 2015 season.

All of your photos are beautiful! We're always sad when they finally go but at least you brought the beauty inside to enjoy.

Thanks Donna for the lovely review. Our yards here look so forlorn and soggy with not a flower in site.

Wow, I love your Hollyhill Spiderwoman. She is very beautiful!

You had some beauties this season!

They're still blooming here and I love them all the more because we didn't get hit with that frost.

Lucky you, Arlene! That is great!

Unless we get a hurricane, I usually have blooms until 11/10.

Thank you, Arlene. I sometimes sit at the computer and go through my dahlia photos in the middle of winter. I take way more photos of the garden than I do of people.http://garden.org/i/s/lol.gif

I did the attached arrangement last night for my garden club's hospitality table. This morning I did four vase bouquets. I picked the dahlias Saturday, late day. They lasted better than I thought they would. The arrangement will likely last another few days. The last hurrah, if you will.

Gorgeous! What a lovely arrangement and the elements of it are grand!

Just beautiful!
