Description

It's back to a fiery dahlia from the garden at Mill Creek Park this morning! Hope you all stay cool today -- we're looking at the second of probably 5 days of near 90 and above. We may have to spend most of today in an air-conditioned shopping mall (I'm only half joking)!

Monnie- So hot here to, not much venturing out to often. You certainly are showing us some of the incredible and beautiful looks of the dahlia and what an array of lovely colors they come in. I have loved them all, but this combination of the red and yellow is my favorite. I can see those gorgeous flowers in my garden and what an addition they would be.
Another floral beuaty my friend.
Have a wonderful day and enjoy. #8818595
