Dahlias + Persimmons = Good Friends
September and October are two of my favorite months every year. The weather changes, school starts, the nights are cooler. In the northwest, there is always something blooming. As it turns out, this month presents the heights and glories of the Dahlia. There is an endless number of dahlia varieities – small, tall, fat, spiky, round and dinner-plate style. Just this week, I saw a red and white spotted dahlia at the flower market. I don’t grow them in my garden, but do find great joy in admiring them in the neighborhood, and I {love} using them in floral work.
My team, here at Lollie Fleur, is in the heart of wedding season. We have several on the books this month, but we will only be using the Dahlia for one of these weddings – boy, that was a smart bride!!! The featured picture here is of a stunning marriage with hot pink dahlias and green persimmon fruit. I love how these textures play well together… I hope you enjoy them too!
