A Walk in the Dahlia Garden


In late August my sister's dahlia garden is at its peak.


She planted out around 240 dahlias this year and will show the best in Portland, Eugene, and Roseburg over the next few weekends.

It is very much a labor of love that keeps her busy almost every month of the year.

I just enjoy the results of her efforts and care.

Bees love open faced dahlias.

This is Lexa - it's named after my sister.
How cool is that!

  1. The dahlias are gorgeous!!! I never realized the shape of the dahlias took so many different forms. The color of Lexa is gorgeous, how neat is that she has a dahlia named after her!! Does she enter them in shows that are judged?
