An Homage to Dahlias

September 6, 2014

20140906-072747.jpg The dahlia season is by no means over, but I woke up and just wanted to give a little shout-out to the blooms that are so perky, colorful and lively. They come in so many shapes, sizes and colors–I think it is all this variation that I am most attracted to, as they are so fun to play with when setting a table or dotting them around a room. Oh sweet dahlia, I do love you so.
