Colour Spots in between...

Dahlias are the last flowers of summer. I love them very much for their colour intensity. But it is also an ambivalent love - knowing that the cold times are not far away any more...

GTS - Green Thumb Sunday

One of the late summer greetings of this year. The friendly turquoise colour of the hut and the bright pink dahlia - what could be a better reminiscence of warm summer evenings in the garden?

How to join:

Late Dahlia

Yes - you can find them still - some gardens still have flowers - a little bit "used" by the wind and the rain but as long as there is no frost they are still living. This one has been photographed a couple of weeks ago though...

"Dahlia" (Asteraceae)

Red Dahlia with a sweet Visitor...

I love not only these flowers but especially the frequent visitors such as bumble bees. I love their humming noise and could watch them for hours...

The CSI Dahlia...

I am watching too much CSI on tv I think but I could not help - to me this bloom looks as if sprinkled with blood - looks a bit creepy - doesn't it??

The Colour of the Sun...

One of the last for this year I think - oh I am going to miss these, their colours...
