Couldn't resist

Posted by Marion (Nanaimo, BC, Canada) on 30 July 2008 in Plant & Nature and Portfolio.

The pot of dahlias was at the grocery store the other night and I couldn't resist buying it. I knew I would get some nice pictures from this lovely plant.

Back from our four day adventure on the West Coast of Vancouver Island. Most days were bright and beautiful. I hope you enjoy my pictures.

It's delicate and wonderful, Marion. The plant was really worth buying for the photos alone.

Oh, how lovely ... and can this be planted after they bloom?
The colors are glorious, Marion!

@Judy: They sure can be planted after. The question is where to plant them??? I will take them with me if we ever get to go. Will be sending you an e-mail later this afternoon. Hugs, Marion

Wow, these are classic. Could easily be framed large, and hung on just the right wall, to enjoy for an even longer time. You were right to trust your impulse to buy and photograph these beauties!

@Viewfinder: Thanks so much for your lovely comment. They would look nice hung on a wall.
