Back in March, I mentioned my quest for an Iced Tea dahlia. Swan Island Dahlias was sold out of them, but I found some tubers on Etsy and ordered them. And I'm happy to report that I now have my first bloom! This photo was made on my iPhone using that new technique where you hold down the image for a second and the background is omitted. Cool!
IRL (in real life), this dahlia is about three inches in diameter, and it seems pretty happy growing in a large pot on my deck. I have a second plant that isn't quite as far along, so I'm hopeful that it will perform as well as this one has.
I love to take close-ups of the interior of flowers. I marvel at God's design, and I'm thrilled that my Iced Tea dahlia has bloomed during National Iced Tea Month!
Wow, that is one beautiful dahlia! And your photo of it is excellent. I really like to observe the interiors of flowers, too. I hope yours gets some bees on it soon. Bumblebees in particular seem to love the dahlias here.
