Dahlia

A suprise flower in the garden today.The camera batterys lasted to take a few more photos.
This Dahlia is such a beautiful colour, a jewel in the green frost bitten garden.
The Fuschias are flowering away madly still in the hanging baskets.I am visiting a nursery tomorrow with Hils..
Any excuse to go plant shopping is good for me... I stopped smoking eight days ago, and have therefore saved fourty pounds already...
The big garden clear up has not started yet, the grey days do not inspire me to brave the cold and wet conditions, maybe tomorrow!
I need some new rechargeable batterys for the camera.The poor light is making bad conditions for photographing flowers.
