Day 246...Dear Dahlia


DEAR DAHLIA

The dahlia, one of my favorite flowers.  When I had a flower garden, I grew them, and they were easy to grow.  The come in all shapes, sizes, colors, and petal counts and arrangements.  They're fairly easy to care for in a garden, and they're magnificent to photograph.

This lovely was spotted in a little bouquet at the Wabasha farmer's market in St. Paul. That occurs on Tuesdays and Thursdays throughout the summer.  

This particular beauty caught my eye because of the tinge of pinkish purple at the edge of its petals.  I bought a bouquet to keep on my desk at work that had a few different dahlias in it.  I love buying myself flowers.
