Inspired by Helen at Little Flower Blog I've posted my photograph of a tree dahlia which I took on Saturday morning at an open garden.
The garden, Wesenden, at Springwood, is part of the Open Garden Scheme.
I forgot to take the DSLR camera so used Mr Honey Pie's mobile telephone, which has a better camera than mine. Picture has therefore been heavily edited.
I have come across a tree dahlia only once before in my life; in a local backyard garden just last year.
The 'tree' is so tall that it soared above the six foot paling fence of the garden.
It wasn't until blogger Ian Percy posted
about tree dahlias did I know what a tree dahlia was.
