Just one photo this week, because I had to nip out between rain showers to cut these and bring them inside this evening. The flower beds are ramping up, which is pretty exciting — I can see so many buds waiting for their turn already.
In the vase today: dahlia ‘Arabian Night’ (the dark red one), dahlia ‘Fascination’ (the bright pink one), dahlia ‘Sunlady’ (the yellow one), and dahlia ‘Impression Famoso’ (the purple and white collarette). Unnamed pink cosmos and peachy color-changing marguerites are providing backup.
Why was I out cutting flowers at 7PM instead of in the morning? Because we were out the door early to catch a ferry to the archipelago for a day of Finnish island-hopping, as you do. It was overcast, but we missed the worst of the rain. Fresh sea air and warm bilberry pie made for a lovely change of pace.
