A test garden dahlia--they don't have names yet, just numbers. I forgot to photograph the number.
Pipsqueak. Hot Tamale.
Patricia Ann's Sunset. Lucky Ducky.
I'm a Hottie. Koppertone.
Bed Head. Little Missy.
Cloudburst. Crazy Legs.
Mardy Gras. Raspberry Punch.
A worker from Swan Island Dahlias cuts blossoms to be sold to patrons of the Dahlia Show. He's got his knife in his mouth and a bouquet in his hands. I had watched him for a while, walking along and cutting first one stem, then another, until he had this big bunch.

Wonderful colours!
Spectacular floral colours. Don't you hate to see the last of the blossoms?
beautiful macro, I love the garden. I a friend of mine was up in Portland over the weekend. She posted a picture on facebook of the voodoo donut store.
Wow! Beautiful specimens!!!
Eye-Popping collage of color from these Beauties! Nice camera work.
Can you imagine the smiles and good feelings this worker sees when handing the cut flowers to the visitors. I bet everyone tries to smell the flowers even tho they have no fragerance as you kindly pointed out to me. (Thanks).
I felt the promise of Fall in the air this morning in Oklahoma!
Wow that first shot just woke me up! Great close up.
Quite a colorful collection, Lynette. This would be fun to see.
Fantastic! The colors are so vibrant and I love the water droplets!
Stunning! Brightened up my day.
It's such a delight to see all of those colorful flowers in bloom. Thank you for sharing!
What a beautiful place on this planet!
