Description

Tree Dahlia. For dramatic autumn colour, tree dahlias are hard to beat. They are giant plants with huge leaves and stems, and shaggy, lavender flowers resembling ballerinas' tutus. It's not only the appearance of the tree dahlia which causes drama in the garden - so do the very brittle stems. One minute you can be proudly showing your tree dahlia off to the neighbours, then before you know it, a sudden gust of wind has blown the whole plant over! Zoom in for a better view. Thank you everyone for comments on my previous posts!

That savours arise of a simple flower my friend. The humer is needed our eyes and the délectate of words of nobility. It is always a facination for Nature. I will always notice the Size of a person by her heart towards Nature MICKEYRONY ((5++)) Que de saveurs ressortent d'une simple fleur mon ami . Il faut la humer de nos yeux et la délecter de mots de noblesse . C'est toujours une facination pour la Nature . Je remarquerai toujours la Grandeur d'une personne par son coeur vers la Nature MICKEYRONY ((5++))

What a gorgeous bloom! The pointed petals seeming to turn slowly from the center. I find this so poetic and even more so as it uses the barbed wire as a crutch.
