It may look like a Photoshopped image but I promise it’s not. What it is, is another batch of Dahlias to South East Flowers who we’ve recently started supplying.
Dragon on Sugar Diamond
Anyone who used to follow me in the days of The London Daily Nature Photo ( http://www.nichamilton.com/ldnp/index.php?x=browse ) will, I’m sure, remember my love of dragonflies. thus it’s nice to see an old love with a new one as a Southern Hawker sits on a Sugar Diamond here.
Cabana Banana
At last a decent yellow Dahlia…..the wonerfully named Cabana Banana is now flowering profusely here.
Snoho Wonder
This is one we’ve not grown before but I’m pretty sure we’ll be growing more of in future!
Karma Naomi
…arresting flowers, their velvety sheen is doing me in. Etc, etc.
Cafe au Lait
The first of our Cafe au Lait Dahlias came into flower this week (about three weeks earlier than last year)…..I’m sure there will more.
Sunflowers on a rainy day….
We like to have something in the centre of our display at Farmer’s Markets and lately sunflowers in this vase seem to have been the order of the day. A stallholder who sells cards remarked that they’d make a good greetings card. We’re not quite at that yet but when we got them home I did a quick shot against an old door. So there you have it.
Sizilia, you’re breaking my heart….
….and shaking my confidence daily.
Firey!
The Dahlias are coming…..
Most flowers seem to be coming a bit earlier this year and am glad to say that includes our Dahlias which are a good three weeks earlier than last year….including the lovely Karma Naomi.
