Robert's Ramblings

This dahlia is beautiful. The delicate structure of its petals are beautiful. The progressive expanding circles are beautiful. Its overall squashed spherical geometry is beautiful.

Its crowning glory of deep intense purple colour is simply extraordinary. To me however the colour overwhelms putting at risk appreciation of all the other beautiful aspects of this wonderful flower.

So here is how I saw this dahlia in all of its beauty.
