BRRR!! Can you feel the chill in the air this week?! Autumn is arriving, and all of the ladies at the flowershop couldn't be more excited (as long as we have our sweaters on of course)!
When we think of late summer and early fall weddings and parties there is always one flower that in quintessential to our designs........
THE DAHLIA!!!
So naturally, we had to make this amazing bloom the FLOWER OF THE WEEK!!
We're fortunate to be able to grow these beautiful flowers right at the family farm so Dahlia harvesting is pretty routine around here!
If ever there were a flower that knew the meaning of variety, the Dahlia is it! While it's colors are limited to the warm ranges of red, orange, yellow, pink and white, it's flowers come in a plethora of shapes, sizes and bloom categories.
Each variation of the Dahlia petal is stunning. Their petals can be spiky, wispy, round, thin etc etc etc. They bloom from mid summer all the way up to frost. Many times they become more spectacular as the weather cools. They like well drained soil and full sun.
If you haven't grown Dahlias before, you should really give them a try -- the variety and vividness of the bloom is difficult to find in any other flower.
