Butchart Gardens Sept. 17, 2010

Dahlias!

As the roses fade, the stars of the garden have to be the dahlias. They put on a dazzling display right into the fall.

I don't know if there's a name for a bunch of them, but if there can be a murder of crows and a teapot of towhees, I think there should be something like a delight of dahlias.

They're pretty interesting close up too.

Other flowers are around, such as this Sedum (above).

Solidago - goldenrod.

It still looks like summer in places.
