One of my favourite, favourite flowers. We have several - in various colours - growing outside. The one I'm most looking forward to hasn't even got a bud yet but will be white and purply-red. My mum told me they used to grow red and white dahlias in Poland when she was little.
There are lots of those huge daisies growing around here at the moment, but not in the garden. Other whites we do have: trailing geraniums, alpine strawberry flowers and something I can't identify (it's not a weed but I have no idea what it's called).
After photographing this bloom I put it in a heavy glass vase. I think it might end up on the bedside table.
oh my...these pictures are amazing! x
ReplyDeleteThank you! White flowers were probably a good choice to photograph on such a gloomy day..
DeleteWhat a treat to have this by your bed - such a lot of flower!x
ReplyDeleteThey're quite 'painterly' aren't they? I love dahlias. In fact I considered Dahlia for a girl's name... before we found out we were having a boy!
DeleteBeautiful images x
ReplyDeleteThank you so much :)
DeleteTruly jealous, cannot manage to grow dahlias for some reason. Your photos are beautiful, katie x
ReplyDeleteThank you! And these were a cheat, ready-grown and a gift from a friend... we just planted them outside.
DeleteWe do have some grown from those rhizome things though. I think they're native to Mexico so like it warm, bright and well-drained if that helps?
Gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteThanks! They're quite extravagant-looking somehow.
DeleteI usually like native flowers but always make an exception for these. I love peonies too...
Beautiful! Such gorgeous photo's. x
ReplyDeleteThank you - a compliment indeed, considering your lovely photography x
DeleteStunning! I think white flowers of whatever variety are always my absolute favourite :)
