Dahlia Love

I am crazy for dahlias and could just not wait to share these with you. They are huge. The color variation amazing. I am not sure if they fall into the dinner plate variety, but one in a single stem vase makes quite a statement. The Market is still abundant with the blooms, so I am taking every chance I can to have them in the shops and at home.

They were placed around the 86 Pine shop in vintage bottles. Customers commented on them much of the day, asking if they were real. Indeed they are.

A bunch travelled over on the ferry and I used them on the dining table just like I did the white variety last week-end (cut super short with the head resting on the lip of a clear drinking glass), with guests yesterday at our Sunday supper.

The dozen took up almost the entire length of the table. The colors just speaking of Autumn.

We thought we were done with outdoor dining, but this incredible weather just won’t stop. The dahlias just adding to the cheeriness & delight of being able to have our meal outside.
