Dahlias

Here are some of my dahlias I planted this year. Unfortunately, I planted the tubers a little too late and while they've been blooming for a few weeks now, it will soon frost here in RI and I'm afraid my 2011 season of dahlias will just have been way too short!

Anyway, here are some of my favorites!

July flowers!

I'm always torn with cutting flowers....I love the way they look outside adorning the front of my house, but I also love to enjoy them in a vase in my house! I bit the bullet and snipped juuuuuuust a few this morning.

I love the deep blue of the hydrangeas (without them turning purple) and the vibrant purple and yellow gladiolus.
