My days are full of flowers right now and I'm loving the stunning ruffly blooms of cafe au lait. So beautiful.
I planted just 9 plants in a row this spring and I think I'll have to plant more next year. They're blooming like crazy these days and I love them grouped together in a big bunch of many blooms.
An arrangement I made for a wedding reception last weekend. With eucalyptus and grasses. wow! Simply and naturally gorgeous!
Here's cafe au lait in some bouquets for a bride and her bridesmaid, bundled together with limelight hydrangea, other dahlias, zinnias, roses, sweet pea and grasses.
I think the unopened buds are beautiful in bouquets too.
Cafe au Lait, I'm going to miss you when the summer's over!

ReplyDeleteThanks for letting me know, Mary! I enjoyed looking around your fb page and realized that you're in NZ and your dahlias have been blooming beautifully for a while now....I'm just getting ready to plant mine now! Fun to think of that : )
ReplyDeleteChristina, these are gorgeous, do you know where I could purchase some tubers?
ReplyDeleteHave bought a bag of tubers and was on the fence. Your post is so generous with pictures, too! Thank you, I got a great sense of how these will look in my garden and am going to plant :)
