Dahlias at a Roadside Stand

On our way back from Lake Goodwin today, there was a lovely little flower stand where dahlias were being sold for $3 a bunch.  I grabbed three bunches of these colorful beauties, and they look great on the dining room table at home.  Perhaps next year I'll have grown enough dahlias to have a cutting garden and bring some of them into the house for bouquets.  This year, I didn't have the heart to cut any of them, as they looked so beautiful out in the yard.
