Dazzling Dahlias!

     Our local branch of the American Begonia Society held a meeting this past weekend at the home of two of our members, Ted and Larry.  They are such wonderful hosts and we really appreciate their hospitality and allowing us to visit their garden.  They provided a delicious lasagna lunch with wine, beer and soft drinks.  Lunch was followed with an entertaining meeting that was lead by Mike and then we were treated to a delicious assortment of Larry's fine cookies.  All of this in their beautiful garden. 
    Ted and Larry have an amazing collection of beautiful plants including begonias and dahlias!  It is a wonderful garden and a feast for our eyes. Everyone had a great time and I'm sure you will enjoy viewing the following pictures.

  1. Wow, fantastic. I like growing dahlias too, among the veggies, for cuts. The gophers do decimate them so. You should see our proud rooster, he’s a case.
    Thanks -Andy
