story and photos by Gail K.

700 flowers & more colors than a 64 count crayola box; what to do???  Simply; post more flower photos, hopefully
without repeats.   (OK stop laughing) .

Ready???  Let’s hop on the ole’ color wheel. Giving a big spin, we stop on—-WHITE!

The pure white ones are very pretty but finding a pure white was a challenge; as you can see-below. The color is in the eyes of the beholder……….

Moving on & landing on maroon!!!

ABOVE: (I really like this one)…….SPIN—     YELLOW IT IS!!!!

true yellow…As seen in the Dahlia, a perfect blending color. Truly, Mother Nature knows what she is doing-

Spinning, spinning hitting on PINK!!! Next to impossible assigning one color but the
majority of the blooms we saw had a pink base.

Many variables in the pink family such as salmon, magenta & mauve.

With such a large color group; let’s pause for a minute. I chose not to photo name tags, rather I have grouped by color. Stella & Gerri are monitoring the blog (4 parts).  I hope my posts will aid in your selecting & ordering tubers for your own garden.

Even in the shape—so much contrast in one flower

This time we make a big jump— PURPLE!!! 
What’s not to love…………..

Spinning again, we warm up with ORANGE!!!variables– red orange, yellow orange & just orange. Orange another great blend—-?? COINCIDENCE yellow & orange straight from the colors of the sun….they warm our hearts.

Last but not least; the color RED!!! With shades of hot fire red to cool purple red & all else in between.

I hope you enjoyed the color tour–a kaleidoscope of Dahlias?
