Posted by Marion (Nanaimo, BC, Canada) on 9 August 2008 in Plant & Nature and Portfolio.
Another picture of that dahlia that I bought. I really love this one.
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.

I wish I were a poet so I could write about this beautiful flower, but I found one for you. Love, Judy
Dahlias' Delight
Dahlia petals spring forth with light
To guide us through the darkest night.
A proof of God inside us all,
They stand, so perfect, true and tall.
My head I bow in thanks devout
How could I ever've raised a doubt,
When sun and rain are all they need,
if love is shared, they will succeed.
( Original poem by William Schmidt )
