Dahlia (again, with more feeling!)

The dahlia is looking up! I fell so in love with them this summer. Next year I will for sure plant more of a variety. Can't beat them for this gorgeous unfolding of petals. They say that God laughs in flowers. This one must be a real belly laugh.

These are very good looking flowers. I actually like the upside down one better I think! Kudos to you for the acrobatics required to catch that one. You caught some great detail in this one though!
