Giant Dahlias

A photo from my trip to Duncan Garden, here in Spokane. These dahlias, called The Giant Dahlia, stand so tall that I have to tip my head back rather far to look at them properly. They are all about one to three feet taller than I am. This particular flower was the width of three of my hands laid flat. Be sure to click on the image to see it’s impressive, full size.

    That’s spectacular; I don’t think I’ve ever seen a flower a third that size!

    Wow, I haven’t had any luck with my “dinner plate sized” Dahlias here. One bloomed but it was about the size of a marigold. =O(

  4. Nice pic, it makes me want to go for a walk in the gardens up the road.
