Dahlias


I needed a touch of spring on a cold dreary day, 

so I looked in the archives to see what flower pics I wanted to post.  

I was surprised to see that I had never posted any photos of dahlias.  

They are a market favorite so I certainly have plenty of shots.  

And they come in a wide variety of shapes and colors, 

which moves them to the top of my list.  

They are from the Astor "family" 

and are related to sunflowers, daisies, mums and zinnias.  

So I am not sure why I have neglected them so far.  

But rest be assured I intend to make up for it.
