Battle of the Dahlias

It has almost been a month, but here I am back and about to swamp you with blogs of my travels to make up for it.  And I have brought to you some flowers..

Since I have been gone, my gardens have got overrun and now look very English cottagey.  Love.
Especially my Dahlias.

I'm not normally one to like 70's retro looking flowers, but the apricot species that I've grown are so beautiful. The reason while I have battled with them is because they have such delicate stems, are easy to snap off accidentally and are very floppy- requiring constant propping up with stakes and ties etc. Countless times I have come this close ( ) to ripping them out.

But look how stunning they sit in my coffee table vase.

More whimsical nonsense to follow this week, I promise..


And Happy Easter!
