Garden Inheritance
One of the choices in this years Sumer Photography Scavenger Hunt is No. 15 Something Inherited. We have a family dahlia that originally came from my Grandparents garden. My mum has kept it going for many years. It is blood red in colour and no longer available. Here they are in her garden.
Mum has an eye for planting for effect and how great they look planted on mum’s suggestion by her gardener so that they can be seen through the arch.
The individual flower is just right for No. 17. Something naturally round.

ReplyDeleteGood choice of photos for the hunt. It's a lovely photo of your mum.
ReplyDeleteOh I like that red dahlia. Flowers are the gift that keep on giving. Your Mum has a pretty garden & that's a very good photo of her.
ReplyDeleteOver the last few years, dahlias have become one of my favorite flowers. I have a red and white one this summer that is lovely. They have to be dug up and wintered inside in our climate. Some years we're very good about it, others not so much. Unlikely there'll ever be one that would be considered an inheritance.
