Hello everyone,

We have been busy working in our garden
and I am happy to have some early
blooms in the garden. Today, I picked
my first bouquet, daffodils and hyacinth.

Anyway, today I wanted to tell you about
a beautiful new book available to order.

I have been following Erin Benzakein on Instagram
for months now and am amazed at all the
beauty she creates at Floret Farms.

This book is all about all about dahlias....
a guide to growing and arranging their
magnificent blooms.

Inside the book you will find all the info you
need to grow beautiful dahlias along with 
beautiful images of  so many varieties.

I love that there is a variety finder at the back
that showcases all the dahlias by color
with the variety name and a little
description of them.
                                                                







  
 I love the beautiful photography all
through the book. 

  




Enjoying my tea break with
a good book.


I was delighted when I was given a copy to
share with you as I know that, you too will
enjoy the beauty and info in this
beautiful book.

Floret Farm's
Discovering Dahlias is
available at Amazon as 
well many bookstores etc.

Check out more beautiful
photos on Erin's Instagram
to be convinced that
you will truly enjoy this
lovely and informative book.

I think I need to go out and buy
some dahlias now! I remember
my Dad planted mainly yellow
ones, back in the day when he
enjoyed gardening.
There are so many more beautiful
varieties as this book will
show you, than when my Dad
was a gardener.

In my next post I am sharing
some June photos of our garden
that I took last year but didn't get
around to posting them. Summers
go by so quickly!

Thank you for visiting,

Carolyn

  1. So beautiful. Interesting, just a few hours before I saw this post, I was strolling through a local nursery and admiring the dahlia plants...they didn't have flowers yet but the photos on the tags were breathtaking! I was thinking to myself that I'd love to learn more about this plant and figure out if I could grow them here...I love the idea of being able to grow enough flowers that I could give bouquets to those I love. So thank you for the recommendation. I'll be sure to check if my library has this beautiful book.

  2. Adding another comment to say, my library does have that book - as well as a couple more of this author's books. Yay! I can't wait to feast my eyes on those photos while enjoying a cup of tea. :)
