I am glad that you feel my post has transported you to the Dahlia Garden in the Golden Gate Park.<br /><br />Christinaorganicgardendreamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11122516730008378516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5286710136867815403.post-30202842906210657762011-09-29T23:36:23.622-07:002011-09-29T23:36:23.622-07:00Absolutely incredible!

I was assuming that they would do well in the Bay Area. I have doubts if they like San Diego because of the heat, but I have to try and see.<br /><br />Christinaorganicgardendreamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11122516730008378516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5286710136867815403.post-77209446325393385712011-09-13T19:14:49.773-07:002011-09-13T19:14:49.773-07:00I am glad you had a great time.

Squirrels eating tubers could be a problem too.Mashahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15996950576326655813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5286710136867815403.post-12395814902543441732011-09-12T18:38:51.454-07:002011-09-12T18:38:51.454-07:00FlowerLady, yes, it was a lot of fun to visit the ...FlowerLady, yes, it was a lot of fun to visit the Dahlia Garden and take photos. I also can see dahlias growing in my garden next year ;-)! Have a nice week, too!<br /><br />Dani, thanks, I am glad you like my photos. It is not difficult to take pretty photos of dahlias at all, they are very photogenic :-)!<br /><br />Holley, hmm, I didn't know that dahlias are not growing in Texas, I wonder why... Unfortunately we didn't get to visit the conservatory, hopefully next time.<br /><br />Christinaorganicgardendreamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11122516730008378516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5286710136867815403.post-28752574022734755342011-09-12T06:01:38.082-07:002011-09-12T06:01:38.082-07:00Wow - that is beautiful!

That bed is simply amazing - so colorful, and as you say, such variety of form. It would be hard for me to pick a favorite. That conservatory, though, is wonderful!HolleyGardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14892421871044249940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5286710136867815403.post-62785137506458000372011-09-12T04:07:28.098-07:002011-09-12T04:07:28.098-07:00Beautiful, beautiful garden.
