I was walking across the Bridge of Flowers this morning and it is clear this is high Dahlia season. I don’t know the names of these varieties, but I am going to look through the Swan Island Dahlia catalog and see if I can get names for some of these.
Some dahlias have a more tender hue.
China Doll is a dahlia that everyone loves.
Dahlias come in so many forms and sizes.
Do you think ‘Shaggy’ is a dahlia class?
After all the fire of the dahlias it is nice to have a cool place to sit .
Before I left the Bridge I had to go and take another look at the new school of fish leaping up river on the Buckland side. Thank you John Sendelbach.
The Bridge hosts what is essentially a joyful garden party every day of the year from April 1 to October 30. Visitors from all over the country – yea all over the world – come here to enjoy the flowers, tended by a gardener, assistant gardener, many volunteers and overseen by the Bridge of Flowers committee, a part of the Shelburne Falls Area Women’s Club.
While the dahlias are colorful I like the leaping fish.
Beautiful place, stunning view and gorgeous dahlias.
Lisa – There is a series of leaping fish. John Sendelbach is a genius!
Donna – I wish you could see it in person.
