Mackinac Dahlias
The gardens on Mackinac Island were also an inspiration for me. I don't have the space, sunlight or time to recreate such lavish displays, but I did get some ideas for color combinations for next spring's annuals. One of the B&Bs on Main Street had gorgeous dahlias.
I don't grow dahlias. In Michigan, the bulbs need to be overwintered inside, and that seems like too much trouble. I am fond of the flowers at least partially because they remind me of Aunt Dahlia from the P.G. Wodehouse stories.

Beautiful shots, especially that third one with its contrasting impossible blue sky.
Thanks Buffy. That blue in the background is actually a sign, not the sky. Still, it's a pretty blue.
Dahlias are so lush, so over-the-top! And some, like your first one, look like sea anemones. And you have a reference to Bertie's Aunt Dahlia. Wodehouse rules!
Thanks, Tim. The pics were fun to take.
