Here are some picture to brighten up the dreary rainy days I've been having in Pittsburgh; beautiful dahlias. A garden of these friendly flowers are planted outside at Phipps Conservatory. I don't know if they are a new addition or if I have always missed them but this was the first time I notice the rows of colorful dahlias supported by the white picket fence. The dahlia tubers from which they grow need to be dug out before the first frost and stored away during the winter; so hopefully you will get a chance to see these enchanting flowers while there is still some sunshine left!

The white picket fence adds a good back drop for the flower. Some of the stalks have to be tied to the green sticks to help against some of the strong rains we get in Pittsburgh. |

Beautiful fuchsia color. |

This one snuck onto the other side of the fence. |
