cafe au lait dahlia

September 7, 2011 by Christina

My days are full of flowers right now and I’m loving the stunning ruffly blooms of cafe au lait.  So beautiful. 
I planted just 9 plants in a row this spring and I think I’ll have to plant more next year.  They’re blooming like crazy these days and I love them grouped together in a big bunch of many blooms.
An arrangement I made for a wedding reception last weekend.  With eucalyptus and grasses.  wow!  Simply and naturally gorgeous!
Here’s cafe au lait in some bouquets for a bride and her bridesmaid, bundled together with limelight hydrangea, other dahlias, zinnias, roses, sweet pea and grasses.
I think the unopened buds are beautiful in bouquets too.
Cafe au Lait, I’m going to miss you when the summer’s over!

    Thanks for letting me know, Mary! I enjoyed looking around your fb page and realized that you're in NZ and your dahlias have been blooming beautifully for a while now….I'm just getting ready to plant mine now! Fun to think of that : )
