I apologize in advance. I can take photos of flowers all day- especially the cafe au lait dahlia. Ivory, nude, blush, mocha, tea-stained, taupe, dusty rose, pale brown..perfect.

THE FARMER

We had the pleasure of visiting Anna Mack's glorious flower farm in western Massachusetts. The farm, aptly named "Wild & Cultivated" had some of the most beautiful dahlias Sarah & I have ever had our little hands on**.

**There were so many gorgeous dahlias at Anna's farm. I've focused on the the 'Cafe Au Lait' but there were so many more varieties. More on our flickr.

  2. So beautiful. I want to come to your school but the commute from England is getting in the way! Will have to follow your blog instead and hope you do lots of how-tos! Belinda x

  3. Excellent stuff. Such beauty and subtle colours. However, an ode in three parts should show a bit more variety in shape and form. After all, that is a dahlia.
