Flora Borealis

I’m in flower withdrawal, but for now these pictures will have to get me through. These are the vivid colours of Sonic Bloom dahlias. I never use filters on my photos (why change something when the truth is so beautiful??), but feel extra compelled to say no filter on this one. Can you believe these colours??

Dahlia tubers! So this week I checked on all of our tubers to make sure they are storing alright. I found some had surface mold on the stems, so I cut that away, and left the door ajar to the cellar to promote better air circulation. Overall I’d say they are looking great. Nice and plump . If you are overwintering dahlias now is a good time to take a peek!

Summer hues..... come back to me

Gah! I miss the crazy, dirty, sweaty days of summer, and all the flowers that come with it.
