DaHliA CrAzy!

What an exciting time of year! Spring is always so much fun with all of the flower and garden shopping we can dive into. My mom is to blame for my newfound love of Dahlias. I always thought Dahlias only came in that little six inch annual version which I was never a big fan of. I like everything in the garden to be BIG! After seeing mom's Dahlias that stretched a minimum of four inches across and at least three feet tall in an assorted of bright colors, I decided to take the plunge this year. And boy did I ever! I can never do anything half way....much like my candle hobby that turned into a thriving business :)

Now back to Dahlias! Here are the wonderful Dahlias I have found this year and where I found them. If you like tall varieties with huge flowers, these will certainly be a hit for you!

These two beauties came from Menards:

These lovelies came from my own little slice of heaven during Spring - Lowes:




While I found these unusual bulbs at Meijer, they were also available at Menards for those who aren't in Michigan:

So....it's time for everyone to get out and get shopping for Spring! There's nothing better than "smelling dirt" - that's what my mom says. What have you bought so far?
