Somehow (this is how the best plans start) Helen and I realised recently that we both loved dahlias so she started a Dahlia Fan Club on Pinterest.
Have a look – it’s a beautiful place full of colour. We both occasionally have a good blitz of adding dahlia photos.
During this time I’ve learnt that the dahlia is the national flower of Mexico but am yet to find a decent Frida Kahlo and dahlia photo – if you do, let me know.

Me again! I have to comment though because I LOVE Dahlias too…the Chch Botanical Gdns have a great display of them out at the moment, was in there the other weekend and took a few good photos…have some on my FB page.
LOVE!
Did you get my card re: The Dahlia Fan Club?
I actually have no memory of it right now. I got a card recently from you that I remember loving but can’t remember what was inside… will check at home tonight and let you know. What an awful friend I am.
lol! Sounds like something I’d do – don’t worry! x
Oh yes I remember it now – you talked about the various textures of the flowers, the pom-poms ones etc. Also, famous people know about our club – sent you an email.

Same friend indeed! I’d forgotten about Dahlia Cottage – a photo would be great and also for an upcoming project.
