Dahlias come a close second to being my favorite flower- just behind roses. One of the best parts of summer is enjoying the flowers and fresh produce at Justy's. I picked this bucket of dahlias today and purchased his organic tomatoes, green beans and Italian prunes.
He's open from early June to late October. When I first met him, he'd sell me dahlia tubers for my garden out of burlap bags in the barn- each marked with a photo to identify its name and color. Now he has a large store and a growing family business.
The dahlia and sunflower fields always amaze me with their beauty.
Dahlias sketched earlier this week.
