Dahlias



Busy day again today, some day I will have a job that I don't have to work every Saturday. I have decided to take tomorrow off. This is a Dahlia and an abstract of a Chive flower (Allium schoenoprasum), which incidentally did not keep Black Spot from my Roses. I don’t know the cultivar of Dahlia bit it is a pretty one with purple edges and a bit of yellow in the middle. Here is a picture of the whole flower.



I have featured Dahlias before:
Shannon Dahlia
Wildwood Marie
Mom's Special and Procyon



This is the Chive flower. It is kind of hard to mistake it for a Dahlia.

How lovely, that first picture. I wish I was tiny so I could snuggle in with it.

The whole dahlia flower is quite beautiful, DFP - I love the darker edge on the petals.

Annie,

Thank you for visiting. Nothing quite like a Dahlia, is there?

That's and outstanding Dahlia. Too bad you don't know the name of it. I tried searching the web for it. Came close but don't know if it's the same. How does it look from a distance? Some times really spectacular flowers up close are just ordinary if you look at them far away.

It is actually quite attractive from a far, also. Ki, I think I heard there are over 25,000 registered cultivars so you have your work cut out trying to find out which one.
