@sarasdadandmom Dahlias grow from tubers, and in my area, they freeze in the winter. So the tubers have to be dug up every fall and stored inside over the winter. In warmer climates like Mexico, they are perennials.
Dahlias are special to me. They are the flower that my grandparents grew in their garden in India, where dad grew up. When dad died I made garlands out of them for him. This is a stunning shot of a dahlia and a fav for me - you have some truly stunning flower shots.
Beautiful Image!
