This was labeled a "waterlily" type dahlia which was an unfamiliar term to me and I've been to dahlia shows. This was taken at the Chicago Botanic Garden in early morning light.
Smile, without a reason why. Love, as if you were a child, Smile, no matter what they tell you Don't listen to a word they say Cause life is beautiful that way. (From the film "Life Is Beautiful")
You really "snapped" up a good one here Kathy - the early morning lighting really brings out the beauty in this lovely flower - never seen one of this color before - the gardens are a great resource - Well Done!!!!!!
Looks like I won't need that glass of milk to go with the gingersnaps after all. I had no idea they had shows exclusively for dahlias. I could understand if they were dandelions. Fabulous colours in this lovely close up, Kathy.
