Dahlia

Pom dahlia, nice tight petals, white in the afternoon sun, shadows are low. Flower growing in the Fairhaven community gardens.

Dahlia

This dahlia is similar to the yellow hammer dahlia. I like how old fashioned this flower looks. Beautiful afternoon light.

Huge Dahlia

This dahlia is huge, bigger than a dinner plate. I love how the photo turned out with the blue of the sky behind it.

Pink Dahlia

I took this picture today in the Community Garden where I have a small plot and grow a few vegetables and lots of cosmos. For more about the community garden see http://thecommunitygardener.blogspot.com/

This is a good looking flower. I love the contrast, very nice. The Encyclopedia of Dahlias looks interesting, why not check it out?
