It is that time of summer when the dahlias are starting to bloom here and I recently spotted this beauty. It has had a few petals gnawed on by pests but it was still lovely to see.
What a gorgeous bloom. We don't see many here in the desert but I've seen plenty in California when I'm there. I'm always amazed at how big the blooms are.
Dahlias are such beautiful bloomers. I didn't plant any this year and I'm starting to miss them...once the sunflowers bloom I'll see if they're a suitable substitute.
Magnificent! Gallery-quality photograph.
ReplyDeleteIt is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful day!
