I am Dahlia
And I am beautiful !!
This is the first bloom from my huge dahlia plant, the tuber (also huge) carefully preserved from last year. That was from a little seedling given to me by a wonderful friend. And here we are ! The plant now has four blooms, and loads more to come - I'm so proud of it. A particularly beautiful bloom, I haven't enhanced the colours here at all. Just a bit of sharpening and my own texture applied round the edges of the flower to tone down the overly green background of dahlia leaves.
Hope you like it too ... many thanks for all your support, my friends, and have a lovely weekend !
