Have you ever been to a Dahlia Farm?
Thursday afternoon I accompanied my friend Eileen and her daughter Lizzie to Sunnydaydahlias Farm in Jaffrey, New Hampshire. The Dahlia gardens attract butterflies, bees and hummingbirds.
We were cutting many different beautiful and colorful dahlias to grace the tables for Lizzie’s wedding this Saturday.
Rebecca showed us how and where to cut the stems, remove some leaves and provided buckets with water so we could transport them back to the venue.
My friend’s garden Sunday October 5th. Eileen has the most gorgeous flowers. The dahlias are huge. Roses are still blooming. So many vibrant colors to capture Sunday morning. Here are just a few.
Franklin Park Conservatory and Botanical Gardens
My garden in Pittsburgh -Perhaps the perennial Pale Pink is a Stargazer but I know the yellow ones are Stella d’Oro Daylily
and the Orange Daylily in Columbus Ohio.
Not everyone likes the fragrance of a lily I read.
When I was going around my yard (after having been away for more than a week) I photographed all the flowers,
Was I surprised when I saw a baby deer, hidden in the bushes at the corner of my house. I learned that the mothers leave them and then return to get them. Steve saw a big deer in the backyard yesterday. I hope the little fawn got reunited with its mom.
The iris were just starting to bloom

The same plant.
Hellebores are also named Lenten Roses
