Dahlias

Oh boy, another tingling interest. Dahlias!

Actually dahlias did never catch my attention, until I received some Single Formed seeds from England.
Well … what can I say I´m in love, probably because they can resemble Cosmos, one of my old time favourite.

But the forms;
Mignon single, Orchid, Novelty open, Stellar and Waterlily,
can become catchy.

As most are grown by seed, they are nameless,
but beautiful never the less.

Cactus Dahlia ´Tsuki-yorine-shisha´
Was given to me from a special some one.
Dahlia in the morning dew.
Just about to open.
The prettiest of them all.
The colour is darker than shown here.
Dahlia Merckii.
A very special colouration

Greeting the morning sun.
