Let's start with some pretty pink dahlias!!
How about some some reddish and purple-y ones...
We'll wrap things up with some sunny yellow and orange dahlias!
We hope these flowers have brightened up your day a little bit.

a lot of people say the rose is the queen of all flowers... but we think it must be the dahlia... there are so much wonderful variations and they all are so beautiful! Thanks for presenting such a (silen of course!) firework of flowers today :o)
ReplyDeleteMy Mum luffs Dahlias and has tried on many occasions to grow them but sadly the slugs and snails luffs them as much as she does and they tend to win!

ReplyDeleteHow beautiful the Dahlias are - every single one of them! Our mom really needs to plant some of these!

ReplyDeleteThese are just so very very beautimous, Dory... and somehow they made me tear up; such gorgeousness in contrast to the horror. We need always this reminding that the majority of life is about beauty and Love, no matter how much one person in a million may attempt to sully it. Blessings hugs and wags, YAM-aunty xxx
Oh Dory for sure POTP for France...such a loving country
ReplyDeleteWe love love love your flowers and your Mama needs to send each photo to Birds and Blooms.
They are gorgeous. Mom especially likes the R E D.
Hugs madi your bfff
Those are absolutely beautiful flowers. I love your photos!
ReplyDeleteThose are some of the prettiest flowers - Mom grew a beautiful black Dahlia (which was actually a really deep deep purple but looked black) - they are stunning flowers and your mom did an awesome job photographing them
ReplyDeletedarling dalhias, gorgeous they are.. the only thing that outshines pink dalhias is your purty pink tongue...
ReplyDeleteVery very pretty!
ReplyDeleteThis a Bright and Beautiful post...
ReplyDeleteOur hearts ACHE for our friends in France.
Such pretty flowers! You always have amazing things to show us.
ReplyDeleteWe hope the beauty you found in Mother Nature's garden bring some peace and comfort to the world. France has had to endure so much tragedy, it just isn't fair. And when so many suffer, the whole world of good people suffers too.
