Dahlias

I have been thoroughly enjoying my dahlias this summer. They were slow to get started but I am now able to cut a few fresh flowers each day. The variety pictured above, Melody Dora, is one of my favorites.

The first day I cut an entire bouquet was pretty exciting.

This Cafe au Lait Rose was as big as my grandson’s head and made a fun place for a little green frog to hide.

These flowers have really been a highlight of my summer and I enjoy going out to the garden every morning to clip new flowers and then again each evening to see the growth progress of the day.
