And what a beautiful garden she tends with great love and care.
Marion asked if I’d come up the street and photograph her favorite dahlias.
I was happy to see the many varieties and rich colors, making them easy to capture. The bees were enjoying all the gorgeous blossoms.
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.
So many varieties. My neighbor grows them.
After breakfast at Joan’s she invited me to cut some flowers from her beautiful garden. Zinnias, dahlias different shape petals, vibrant colors. Slipped them into the cobalt blue vase with some cool water and photographed them on the front porch, looking for the best available light.
