Early Autumn Glory - Dahlias !

You've probably heard about Fibonacci numbers - Golden Spirals, Golden Ratios - and that they occur in nature. And reoccur - especially in flowers like dahlias, zinnias, and sunflowers. Dahlias are the perfect flower for illustrating this amazing repetition in nature. (For more information, here's a link about Fibonacci in Nature - click here).

The National Capital Dahlia Society hosted their 2017 Annual Dahlia Show at Brookside Gardens in Wheaton, MD. this past weekend. Part of the exhibition included a delightful flower show. Check out these whimsical floral designs that were part of their Wizard of Oz show – using gorgeous dahlias!

Thanks for garden club member Kate Abrahams for her photographs. For more information about the National Capital Dahlia Society, click here National Capital Dahlia Society
