Freshly Picked Dahlia Bouquet

I picked these lovely dahlias by invitation just before dark on Sunday night. They made getting up on a Monday morning so delightful. They drank a lot of water overnight and I had to top them off after taking this photo. They are the best summer into fall flowers of all.

What a lovely bouquet you picked, Rosemary! Have you seen potter/Dahlia grower Frances Palmer's new book yet? It's called "Life in the Studio" and includes her pottery practice, the day-to-day of running of her business and tending to her ever-evolving gardens. It's filled with gorgeous photographs of her ceramics, her beautiful flower arrangements, her gardens, etc. Her Dahlia photography is particularly stunning. Enjoy your lovely Dahlias!
