Beautiful photograph–I love dahlias! Your photo of that distinctive bud takes me right back to my childhood in India and my father’s dahlias, his pride and joy.
Dr. Denny, thank you for all your kind and encouraging comments. They bolster me. That made rush of spring blooms is ending – don’t know what we will have next (moss and fungi?) as we’ve had rain and more than occasional hail every day for weeks and very little sun. Best, Seedbud.
Beautiful capture!

Very nice. Always loved Dahlias! I’ve always thought of them as divas too, so like that reference. Good stuff.

I love the personification here. My mom always says clematis is the “look at me” flower, but it looks like it’s got competition here!
