Nature Friday Flashback - Pink Dahlias

Today's flashback is about my most favorite color and my most favorite flowers!

 

Rosy here reporting from Sequoia Gardens to let you know the Dahlias are blooming like crazy! In fact, they are blooming so much it will probably take up most of our August Nature Fridays! This week let's take a look at all the different pinkish variation dahlias I found!

Here we have a pink dahlia with pointy petals...

Don't worry, there are lots of pink ones with curved petals too!

We found a few different pink dahlias with yellow mixed in too!

This one kinda looks like a Mama hugging a baby dahlia..

...and these look like dahlia fire works, don't you think??

Here are our favorite pinkies...

These pink petals almost looks painted onto this pretty bloom!

This pink is so dark, it's almost purple.

We also like the way the petals are spiraling in the middle.

Mama and I both picked this one as our favorite...it is almost the pawfect pink!!

 Thanks for stopping by and we hope these flowers helped bring color and warmth into your Winter Day!

Tomorrow we hit the road for New Mexico!!

Nature Friday - Birthday Rosy in the Dahlias

 

The best part of any birthday celebration is an adventure, right?

Especially if it is a Mama and Me Adventure!!

 

 

It is prime Dahlia season here on the Northy North Coast of California,what better way to celebrate my 4th Birthday than walking through a rainbow of pretty flowers!

 

 

 Just look at all the pretty colors!!

 

 

 Mama says every year seems to be more colorful than the previous year.

We were so happy that the sun burned off the morning clouds and we could enjoy some beautimous clear blue skies!

 

 

 Plus...I got to wear my cool pink shades!!

Let's take a nice walk around the garden and see the collection of flowers this year.

We're going to forego the captions so you can admire the 

views!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I especially like the last red dahlia. It reminds me of Aunty HiC! 

The dahlias are exploding with color this year, kind of like our own personal fireworks except flowers are much more quiet, thank goodness!

 

 

Let's take one last stroll around the back half of the garden... 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

So much beauty in one small garden!

 

Do you have a favorite dahlia??

The flower above is Mama's favorite because it reminds her of a pretty sunrise.

 

I really like the pink one with white tips. 

You know pink is my most favorite color!!

 

 

Here is a relaxing 2021 Dahlia Collection Video Mama put together.

Nature Friday at Sequoia Gardens

 

 Before Mama left for Michigan, I made sure she took me to see what was blooming in Sequioa Gardens. I knew this time of year it would be chock full of flowers!

 

It didn't disappoint, look at all of the colors!!
 

 

 If you look over there....

 

 

 You'll see we have a second crop of Columbines this year!

 

 

 Mama and I share a love of these beautiful flowers...

 

 

We hope someday to take CeCe to Colorado and see them in the wild.

 

 The Columbines are only the tip of the flower-burg!

Just look a what else we found!

 

 

 A late blooming Calla lily

 

 

A big orange-red poppy!

 

 

and let's not forget the Fairy Hats.... 

 

I had forgot all about this fairy hat. I sure was a cute little pup. This is why Mama will always call these flowers fairy hats.

 

Enough memories Mama, let's move along...

 

 

 A pretty yellow daylily

 

 

 and a lovely red daylily for Aunty C!

 

 

 The fuschias always catch our eyes. There is something about the deep pinks and purples that is just so very pretty!

and guess what is starting to bloom??

The DAHLIAS!!

 

 

Here is a short video of a few of the dahlias we saw!! 

You can also watch it HERE on YouTube

 

 

Sequoia Gardens and its plethora of flowers always puts a smile on my face!!

 

 

Have a very smiley weekend everybuddy!!!

This week, we are back at Sequoia Gardens to take a look at the dahlias still in bloom!


From beautiful orange sunbursts,





To smaller deep red dahlias.

Some dahlias look like the have been hand painted, like the red accents on the lovely yellow petals of this dahlia

 

Or the yellow washed petals in the back of this beauty!

 
 Look over there!

 
 This yellow dahlia is almost as bright as the sunshine, don't you think??

 All the colors of the garden always make Mama and I smile!
