Blooming marvellous - Warm autumn temperatures mean flower farm is still blooming

It has been a bumper year for dahlia enthusiast Anna May who has a beautiful array of flowers still in full bloom in October.

After a hot summer and milder, drier autumn so far, the impressive blooms are still going strong - a big change from last year when she had stopped selling by this time.

Anna started off with just one dahlia that she spotted at a local flower sale seven years ago, but she now grows close to 100 different varieties and has 650 plants in her garden in Bridport, Dorset.
