It’s that time of year again for the Dahlias.  It always reminds me that Fall is just around the corner.  In another post of mine, I indicated that my father introduced me to the love of gardening and his favorites were roses and dahlias.  If you’ve never been to the Swan Island Dahlia Show it is a “must see”.  The dahlias are incredible and some the size of a large dinner plate.  You see all the amazing varieties and colors in one place.

Head on down to Canby this weekend and see what I mean.  Here’s a video to entice you more. They ship worldwide so there’s no excuse not to fill your garden with these blooms.  I plan on going this coming Monday!
