Description
Just east of the Conservatory of Flowers in Golden Gate Park In a quite little dell, lies the dahlia Garden. On Oct. 4, 1926, the San Francisco Board of Supervisors adopted a resolution that says because of its versatility, beauty and infinite variety of color and form, "it is the very symbol of San Francisco life and of the spirit of her people." The resolution also includes some delightfully flowering language comparing dahlias to "sophisticated world travelers" like those who return to San Francisco.
The dahlia is even the official flower of San Francisco.
Thank for stopping by and taking a look.
I really do appreciate all your views and comments.

I've never been to San Francisco, but somehow it feels right the dahlia has been chosen as the official flower of SF - with it's color range and nearly endless variety it's a perfect match! :) Beautiful capture and sweet, crispy detail in this shot, Costa! Vashek
