Dahlias at Brookside Gardens:  Colors of Autumn in Maryland 

 

Brookside Gardens, in the Wheaton Regional Park, is one of the very favorite places to spend a few hours when you are in Montgomery County, Maryland. The gardens are beautiful enough to attract visitors from around the world and the special exhibits are outstanding.

One of our favorite annual exhibits is the Dahlia Show that takes place each year.  We are always amazed by the beautiful dahlias that compete for the top awards.  These photographs are from the recent show.

Enjoy the colors of autumn with your camera in hand.

No two ways about it.  Dahlias are gorgeous flowers.  I wish I could grow them successfully.  Great pictures.
