Dilly dallying in the dahlias


Love dahlias.
the golden sunbursts... 
and shocking pink spikes
all the colors in the rainbow...except for blue. Hubby's Grand-dad was the President of the local Dahlia Society. Grand-dad always said, "If you can grow a blue dahlia, you'll become a rich man."


 Every dahila grower wants to grow a blue dahlia. Nobody's succeeded yet.

Oooohh-la-la...cherry flavored!

Grand-dad used to grow dahlias all over town. If somebody had an empty lot, he'd fill it with flowers.
