Formal Decorative Dahlia
Dahlia 'Edinburgh'(DAHL-ya)
If you are here for Wordless Wednesday please scroll down to the next post. Thanks for visiting.
This Dahlia was a good performer last year often blooming in great flushes. The flowers seemed to be slightly variable between the different plants but all were very handsome. It was first propagated in the UK in 1950, so I guess it is a ‘classic’ by now. There are over 40,000 Dahlia cultivars to choose from and I usually grow about 10-15 different ones each year.
Dahlias are grouped into 10 classes, which you can see by clicking here . There are also 13 color classifications.
This one is a film scan from a trip to England I took a couple of years ago. I am pretty sure that was the last black and white film I have shot. So for an extra E here is the London Eye.
Here is my ABC Blogroll. If you want to be included please leave a comment to that effect. This project has grown exponentially and it is tough to keep up. For a complete list go to mrsnesbitt's place blog.

Great Wednesday to you :)
You're worst than any catalog. I end up drooling over your photos and my wish list grows with each visit. That 'Edinburgh' has a color I find to hard to resist.

Your Dahlia Edinburgh is fabulous. We're able to grow Dahlias well in the Seattle area. I'm in So. Calif. right now though. The eye was another great choice for E.
Enjoy...
