Dahlia in our Kentlands home garden, Gaithersburg, Maryland

 

Dahlias grow very well in Kentlands, our home community within the City of Gaithersburg, in the heart of Montgomery County, Maryland. One of the benefits is that they will keep blooming until the first frost in the fall. 

If you want a background like this when you photograph flowers, simply use a sheet of paper behind the flower.

 

Subhash Sharma  "This delightful dahlia (genus Dahlia) is the national flower of Mexico known for its continuous, colourful flowers that bloom throughout the growing season. The dahlia comes in variety of colours, shapes and sizes, making it a favourite flower among landscapers and florists alike. The beauty of the dahlia flower inspired great symbolic meaning during the Victorian era and continues to be used today to express personal sentiments."

Mr. Sharma is a Facebook friend from India. He now lives in Ireland and frequently comments on my photographs

You just reminded me! I have two Dahlia plants to plant and I didn't get around to it because of all the rain. They were scheduled to bloom in June and I'm going to have to try to see if I get blooms in July!

They are so beautiful! Thanks for the inspiration Roy!

Roy,

I love the color of your dahlia, and your photo is lovely as usual.  There is a field of dahlias growing on the back rood we take when traffic is piled up on the freeway.  I love the sight of it.  A

Some of my dahlias have done well and some haven't. The bugs seem to be enjoying them. I may start mine from seed next year.
