Are these Dahlia buds dead?

Be careful if any dogs go near it as it's poisonous to them

If so how much would you have to force down them to make any effect ?

Thanks, my dog does sniff at things when I'm tending my dad's and grandparents graves. I'll keep him away from the Hosta!😉👍

Don't worry about it. Tulips, daffodils, onions, tomato leaves, peace lily, hydrangea, yew, ivy, rhubarb, horse chestnut, rhododendron, foxglove, lily of the valley .......all toxic to dogs.

You can always find something that will poison something else. I just wish my hostas would poison slugs... ...

Take note of the label, Hostas grow best in part shade and need to kept watered.
Some flower freely, others don't, some are even fragrant. Take good care of it and it will reward you, it's a bargain at that price.

I watered it again yesterday, along with the other two plants in there.

The biggest plant, in the middle has been in that tub for a few weeks now but hasn't flowered yet.

What's the name of the plant, if you can tell, and when will it flower?🤔

I took some more photos of it yesterday, this time in the sunshine.🌞

Those flowers are now dying off, but there are still more buds on there.😉

in the tub on my grandparents grave yesterday evening. I doubt the plant flowers (please correct me if it does) but it fills a gap I had in the tub and looks quite nice!😉

I think I might've over watered it, looking at those yellowing leaves.🙄

I found out they are geraniums, and are now flowering.😉

That plant on the left as you look at the photo isn't a Geranium. It's this one I had on my dad's grave last summer, as in 2025.
Can anyone identify the plant as I don't think it came with a identity and care advice label.

It's now in the tub on my grandparents grave having must be quadrupled, even more in size, but so far no flowers like last year.
