Flowers Galore

Last weekend, in addition to our goat ride, we went to a Dahlia Festival.  Who knew the countries largest Dahlia farm is located about 30 minutes from our house.  What's a Dahlia - it is a crazy, but beautiful (and not fragrant) flower.  It had been a while since we saw giant fields of flowers; so we were super excited for this adventure.  The garden at the festival was in full bloom and we found a few we loved - especially one called Pooh (Mom said it was named after a bear called Winnie; but I think it was named for a different reason, hehe) - that we may try to plant this winter/spring.  What was so different about Dahlias was their diversity - some were huge (bigger than my face) while others were tiny.  Some were pointy, like balls of fire, while others were round and smooth.  They are crazy flowers.

Anyway, you can view the whole album here and enjoy a few of my favorites below.

What was extra cool about the Dahlia festival, was the neighboring farm had a train you could ride on!  Can't wait to go back.

Peace Out PDX,
