Current Favorite Dahlia Barrel

This one is in glorius bloom and most afternoons I sit in my glidder directly opposite and watch a humming bird flit throughout it. The humming bird's favorite is the tall one in the back, which is a salvia.

The orange dahlias are American Sunset and the reddish ones are Boom Boom Red (not really red to me, more burgundy).

I am also enjoying these dahlias under my front window.

Snowflake Dahlia

Snowflake is a very small dahlia, known as a pom pom dahlia. In this container I have it growing with the larger ball dahlia called Jowey Martina. I am enjoying this delicate color combo.

Here is my second container of Snowflake.

In the background I have an heirloom variety of rudebeckia, commonly known as the “outhouse flower”. I love to use the outhouse flower for indoor bouquets.

I especially like this one because it matches my window valance.
