In front of the Port Gamble Post Office is one of the most spectacular displays of dahlias I’ve ever seen. Gorgeous, healthy, and diverse specimens filled a small garden.
A postal employee told us that the Kitsap County Dahlia Society is responsible for the display and a fellow named Michael maintains it. They really know what they’re doing.
Each plant is labeled with its name so the truly smitten (moi!) can track down one (or a dozen) for home gardens. (We were told the Dahlia Society has a yearly sale.) This splendid garden is going to be cut down soon. I’m so pleased I happened on it before it disappeared for another year. It’s well worth a visit during the dahlia growing season.
Nice collection of photos. Dahlias never fail to awe.
Super collages! The variety of colors is stunning. The dahlia really is a gorgeous flower. We’re OK…some wind and rain but that’s about it. Still have power – that’s the best thing!
It is wonderful to be dazzled by images such as these. Brilliant and vivid colours and such perfect forms!
Beautiful and delightful to see! The collages are impressive, I like the way in which you displayed them. Very nice Kay!
They are a delightful, cheerful sight!
Nice! Dahlias are the last flowers to show off in Elizabeth Park. I should go over there tomorrow to see if they are still abloom.
