I love Dahlias, they are definately my favourite flower. Mine have not done too well this year (Bugsy the bunny likes the tubers......) but this one is about to burst in to flower.
A couple of years ago I took these, one picture a day:
which means next week I will hopefully have a dahlia almost in full bloom!
I have planted dahlias for the first time this year....and within hours the slugs had the most enormous feast on them...all I have left are stalks! pah! I will be better prepared next year ;o)
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the colour of the one in your shots....gorgeous!

hello gorgeous xxx
I love the idea of one picture a day, beautiful images of a gorgeous flower.
ReplyDeleteGreat shots! I can "hear" the petals opening…
ReplyDeleteI also love dahlia's and we have a hort park not to far from where I work and I take lots and lots of pictures of them :) I love the day by day photo you took! Stunning!
ReplyDeleteDahlias are beautiful flowers. I like how you were able to take pictures stage by stage. I can't wait to see your pictures for next week!
ReplyDeletestunning shots and what colour.....
ReplyDeleteA picture a day is what i should have been doing with my tuberose! I love the series of shots and that color!
ReplyDeleteHow beautiful, Alison! I love the one picture a day series - they could actually be framed and make a wonderful arrangement!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful series of shots!
ReplyDeleteDahlia's are one of my favorite flowers - i love the one you are showing here! And goodness, the idea of a picture a day showing the development like this is awesome! Great job :)
ReplyDeleteThese are wonderful shots of a beautiful flower. Darn bunnies! They are cute but also can be very destructive. Very nice photos.
ReplyDeleteWow! I like what you've done here.
