Beautiful capture!
Very nice. Always loved Dahlias! I’ve always thought of them as divas too, so like that reference. Good stuff.
I don’t remember the form, but was your “demanding dahlia” text a haiku? beautiful image and accompanying words.
Beautiful ^_^
Beautiful shot and interesting prose!
Gorgeous, gorgeous red!
a perfect description!
I really like this one. Nice composition.
Wow! This is splendid.
Lovely!
I love the personification here. My mom always says clematis is the “look at me” flower, but it looks like it’s got competition here!
To paraphrase the SNL version of Ricardo Montalban: this looks mahvelous!
great shot!
Dahlias are indeed grand. Thank you for this photo !
Love the giant ones. Wow….red.
This dahlia deserves celebrating as a diva.
Love this post! Beautiful image and great description.
Beautiful photograph–I love dahlias! Your photo of that distinctive bud takes me right back to my childhood in India and my father’s dahlias, his pride and joy.
lovely shot
I really like this one.
Wow that is FANTASTIC
glorious is the diva!
gorgeous
Fantastic colour.
Gorgeous! I want to *try* to paint that bud!
Oh do! I’d love to see what you create.
Remarkable!
Wow! What a gorgeous, gorgeous red!!
Great!
Love this!
This is so vibrant, I love dahlias!
One of your most compelling images to date. And the title? Superb.
Dr. Denny, thank you for all your kind and encouraging comments. They bolster me. That made rush of spring blooms is ending – don’t know what we will have next (moss and fungi?) as we’ve had rain and more than occasional hail every day for weeks and very little sun. Best, Seedbud.
Wow that’s gorgeous, really vibrant!
Diva dahlia, beautiful sentiment, so red and dramatic!
