Shadows Bring Out White Magnolia's Beauty

This photo was somewhat difficult to accomplish. The blossom was quite a ways away, and I photographed it with my 400mm Nikkor. The bright morning sun posed a problem because of shadows. I hope you enjoy it. Please share my blog with friends and family, or any of my commercial sites, listed on this blog. Word-of-mouth advertising is basically my only form of advertising. Thank you for visiting. © GTFS.

Small Victoria Ann Dahlia Blossoms Feature Purple Beauty

 The Victoria Ann dahlia is classified as a small (BB) dahlia four to six inches in diameter. It is semi-cactus in form and it is listed as light in color, but the photos I took at The Dahlia Garden in Golden Gate Park were graced with a darker to lighter, blended purple. It was introduced in 2003 by N. Gittz. The ADS Classification Code is 3210. This perennial requires full sun. It is deer-resistent. You can grow it in a 3-gallon container on up or in the ground. These photos were taken in San Francisco.
