Dahlia
 
Fooling the flowers!
 

This is the time when summer bulbs such as dahlias and begonias can suddenly experience a growth spurt. For best results throughout the summer, try fooling them into producing more flowers right at first!
If you have large-flowering dahlias, remove the top part of the flower stem. This will make the plant somewhat more compact and sturdy. The first begonia buds may also be removed. The plant will then more than compensate for this initial loss.
