Iconic Big Basin Redwoods Landscapes




Photos of the new fire-decimated Big Basin Redwoods State Park, which was the first state park in California's history. A 2020 lightning-caused wildfire destroyed the areas where these photos were taken, according to news reports (the park remains closed). Please share, if so inclined. © 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.
