I am joining in with A Week In Flowers blogging challenge brought to you from Cathy at Words And Herbs. I recently enjoyed taking part in the #AlphabettyBlooms challenge over on Twitter and what better way than to keep the lovely colours of summer going with this new challenge.
From now until December 6th, post one or two pictures of flowers to brighten up the winter days for those of us living in the northern hemisphere. Then drop your blog link into Cathy.
My choice of flower for day four is the Dahlia. There are so many different varieties of this flower, which only in the last few years has become one of my favourites.
Three very different sorts and they are all lovely. I especially like the single flowered ones, butvthe big frilly ones do make a bigger impact! 😃

I have a selection, but If I get more I will get bee friendly ones.

Those are really lovely Rosie, dahlias are one of my favourites. I love the middle one, I think I have that one too, is it Moonglow or Moondance something like that?

I think that middle one is ‘Sunshine’.

They are beautiful, Rosie. I don’t know why but I’ve never had dahlias. Better have a rethink next year.

I love dahlias – I use to grow large numbers of them in my garden in Illinois, where the weather and the soil are suitable.

I love dahlias – such a choice of shapes and colours and here they flower into quite late in the year. I especially like those with dark foliage like the beauty in the middle photo.

Thank you, yes, I hadn’t realised how long their flowering season could be.
