Little Dahlia - Smiles for My Windowsill

Dahlia's made it into my garden this Spring. This is a plant that I have to dig up every year if I want it's colors to grace my garden, so I don't plant them often! Regardless, when I take the time they are well worth the show.

I snipped these two beauties and put them in little jelly jars on my kitchen windowsill. As the evenings are getting shorter, they add an extra breath of pretty pink colors to my day. I couldn't decide between the two photos, so you get to enjoy both of them!

Not Your Typical Daffodil

Isn't this a unique daffodil bloom? I remember I ordered the bulbs out of a gardening catalog several years ago. Can't remember which one, and cannot even recall the exact name of the flower, but I DO remember that it was called a double-bloom. Now that these bulbs have been in the ground a few years, they are starting to multiply.

I couldn't help but share a pic on my blog of them, because, at least for me, I think they are a very unusual daffodil bulb. I hope you enjoy seeing them as much as I do!
