Dahlia 10/26-11/20

This particular dahlia blossom thrived in the yard for almost a month. I have shown a couple of times previously. Last night we had our first frost and that destroyed all the dahlias in the yard. Hopefully, we’ll see it again next year.

Poor flower. Wonderful collage, though.

[Kathy]

A good example of wabi-sabi

[Carole Sandford]

Frost is not the friend of a dahlia at all! Usually turns them black. I’m sure they will be back next year.

Greay juxtaposition.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

If you pull out the seeds from the center, store them in a paper bag over the winter and plant them in the spring you'll definitely see them next year! Nice contrast- love the birth and death dates!
