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.

Sunflower

What a bright sunflower. The community garden has lots of sunflowers, some with seed heads as big as washtubs and the birds are going wild.

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/

Rose is a Rose

Ah, this looks good enough to eat. The summer sun was hot and the roses were in full bloom at Manito Rose Garden. I saw the most lovely wedding there once. A great place for a wedding during the summer.

Aster

Pink water iris with three signals hiding yellow accent. These lovely iris add interest to wet areas in your yard. Easy to grow. Lovely as a cut flower.
