Pink Tipped Dahlia
There are few flowers that say summer warmth and sunshine like a dahlia, and this one is a classic example. It’s a favourite in our garden and possibly is the variety Tahiti Sunrise. (Don’t we all wish that we were watching a beautiful Tahiti Sunrise right now??) While we haven’t been sure if we will be growing dahlias again next year, looking at this beauty makes me feel certain that we will find space for some. I remember one year when Steven was teaching somewhere away (remember those days?) and I was on ‘frost and pest watch’. I seemed to spend a lot of time devising ways to cover the plants as they outgrew their protections and in preventing the earwigs from destroying the tiny emerging shoots of the slow growers. When they bloom, full of flowers as beautiful as this, all that was forgotten. Hard work in a garden pays such wonderful dividends. Have a lovely day, everyone.

Wow, I say…definitely worth the effort to get this explosive beauty. Thank you, Ellie, for all your hard work.
And I say thank you for your lovely comment, Janet. I agree, it is a beautiful flower, I was just glad to be out with my camera when it was at its best.
Thank you so very much Ellie it is a beautiful flower. I love the pink tips on it then the progression to the White and then a soft pale yellow. I am so enjoying looking closely at these flowers and seeing the beauty in every part of it. Thanks again for taking the time and the effort to post. Hope you have a great day hugs to you and Steve.
