Dahlia

September Garden

Slipping into Autumn

I rescued these dahlias from the rain the other day, and I noticed how pretty the light was as they sat on the table...

Still Life of Dahlias And Vintage Linens

I've just gathered these blooms from the front garden.  It really does seem to be be true with dahlias that the more you keep cutting them, the more you encourage new flowers.  My kind of flower!

Luscious Dahlia Labyrinth

As you know, I have been patiently (or impatiently!) waiting for my dahlias to bloom.  It's fair to say that I have hit a bit of a challenge, as the ones in my front garden (including these) are blighted by black fly.  I need some ladybirds to come and save the day, but I haven't seen any around.
