Section 1:  30 DAYS OF DAHLIAS

Our first tour in September was a Dahlia Farm;   “Dirty Girls Flower Farm” in Willis, Michigan.
A real treat; the variety of colors & shapes, just amazing.

I want to share all my photos but for the sake of the blog I must restrain myself; after all she has 700 plants.  To include as much as possible, I will split into sections– Ready??? Hang onto your hats.

Get ready for some real eye candy-

Resembling firework displays-the garden exploded with the various colors & designs.

Every color imaginable; solids, mixtures & blends.You won’t find these in your crayola box, that’s for sure!! 
Only Mother Nature could create such colors!!!

Sunrise to sunsets; explosions of red, yellow, pinks, and oranges.

The various shades within each color, extends the mind’sconcept of what is “normal” …

From cool colors found in shade to hot & on fire like the sun…

The contrast of dainty & soft to sharp & dramatic.

REALLY!!!!   There are no words…..

What a treat–Mother Nature combined all her tricks into one flower……..

There you have it-
Just a simple bouquet of 30 out of 700; hand picked for you!
Which was your favorite?  The upcoming posts on this tour,
will include more.  For now;  ENJOY***
