Cactus flower dahlia
Seattle’s Volunteer Park has a spectacular and beautifully tended Dahlia Garden with hundreds of varieties, and now’s the time to visit. With the unusually sunny weather we’ve been having, gardens are so happy, even though more water is needed. It’s on the big lawn across from the Conservatory. If you can, get there while it’s still at its peak. I’ve added a photo of the garden sign so you can find it easily if you go there.
Check out Today’s Flowers, Pink Saturday, Floral Friday, Flower Art Friday, Flowers on Saturday, Weekend Flowers, SOOC Sunday (straight out of the camera), Scenic Sunday, Macro Monday, Shadow Shot Sunday 2, Mellow Yellow Monday and Ruby Tuesday 2. Please click on Sara’s Fave Photos Blog above to see the entire blog if there is only one image below. Thanks for visiting and come back soon, OK?
If I lived anywhere nearby, I would dearly enjoy a visit there.
My son has never taken me here on my trips to Seattle. What a treat to have such a beautiful place to visit. The bloom is a gorgeous capture. Hope you all get some more rain. This was my first visit where we had to water the flowers. genie
Those are beautiful!
I love the colors in the Dahila, so very pretty. I imagine this garden is a wonderful place to visit.
Happy Sunday!
Love to visit too if I am living in your vicinity.
Lovely flowers.

Beautiful! There are so many lovely varieties of dahlias.
That is a beautiful dahlia. And I do love dahlias. Volunteer Park is such a neat park. I wish we still lived near Seattle.
