{dahlias, in a bunch}
I think dahlias are officially my favorite flower. Although I'm notoriously fickle when it comes to flowers, so you probably don't even believe me. That's okay. Let's just say they are officially my favorite flower for the next couple weeks, which is their peak season here, I think.

But really, have you noticed how they seem to glow, because of the amazing coloring? And how beautifully their wandering, lanky stems contrast with the geometric flowers? And the best part is that you can just plop them in a vase any which way and they look elegant.
Have a wonderful weekend, my dears!
gorgeous! i was wondering: your posts always come up so early in the day (which i love!!).. do you schedule them or are you a very early riser?

My FAVORITE FLOWER which I just recently discovered is Peonies--just beautiful! these Dahlias are gorgeous!
ReplyDeletei'm the same way...every new season brings another favorite flower...I'm loving dahlia's right now as well :)
ReplyDeletebeautiful! happy weekend!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! Especially in the milk glass vase.
ReplyDeleteoh gorgeous - I think you just sealed where I want to go explore today.
ReplyDeleteThese are now my favorite. I like how the yellowish background of the photos compliment the pink in the flowers.
ReplyDeletelove those!! the color is outstanding.
ReplyDeleteI whole heartedly agree, lovely shots, happy weekend to you too!
ReplyDeleteso glamorous! i love that first photo-the sumptuous red dahlias and the spindly buds creeping away.
ReplyDeleteI just enjoyed a bunch of them in Portland. They're wonderful. And so many different varieties!
ReplyDeleteI find it difficult to make those unruly bouquets that I so admire. When I arrange, things always look simple and orderly, no matter how rule-breaking I try to be! Dahlias are the perfect flower to work with to create that unruly arrangement because they can never be tamed!
ReplyDeleteI agree, dahlias are perfection. I just love the organized complexity of their blossoms :)
ReplyDeleteDahlias are so beautiful. I like those and peonies and sunflowers and lillies... pretty much flowers just captivate me!!!
ReplyDeleteI am getting into the habit if buying flowers every weekend at our Farmers Market. Its so fun and aesthetically pleasing. {PS: I have no idea if I spelled that right!}
Either way, have a wonderful weekend. =D
I too love dahlias. So much so that I used them in my wedding a year ago. I have some growing in my flowers beds too.
ReplyDeletePretty!
