Seattle dahlia garden
I discovered a gem of a dahila garden in Seattle, in Volunteer Park. If you are leaving the Conservatory at the north end, it is in the big field in front of you to your left. There appear to be maybe a couple of hundred different dahlias blooming, all staked and named and perfectly groomed. I was in heaven. The sign says it is maintained by the Puget Sound Dahlia Association and I say Thank You to them.
Here’s a pretty pink one for Pink Saturday. Also for Macro Flowers Saturday. And visit Color Carnival, too!
While you are here, try clicking on the Dahlia tag for more lovely blooms. And if you’ve arrived by the permalink, you can always get to the latest post and the full blog by clicking on Sara’s Fave Photos, above. Thanks for visiting!

Dahlias are so pretty and these have such vibrant color. Well captured.

They are gorgeous, what an amazing magenta-pink color.
They look so fresh, not yet burnt by the sun.

The colour of this one is wonderful! But I cannot imagine a couple hundred different dahlias! That would be something to see! You will have to take us back for another visit!

Happy Pink Saturday, Sara. Thank you for making Pink Saturday special, and for taking part in this day of celebration and thanks.
There truly are miracles going on all around us every day. We just have to open our hearts in acceptance.
Those dahlias are absolutely gorgeous. Mine did not bloom this year. I think it was from the extreme heat and drought.
