[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Good Morning Everyone,

Today, I am posting a shot of a very remarkable and extremely hardy dahlia.

I describe it in this way as it was uprooted by the cat in its infancy and since then, it has survived constant winds and rain for the last two weeks. Despite all these adversities, this lovely flower has battled through! It is a little ragged at the edges, soaked with rain but still retains a stalwart beauty!

Many thanks for stopping by.
Please feel free to offer feedback on any aspect of the photograph!
Bev :-)

Hello Bev,
Lovely details of these dahlia blooms, the small flies hovering are sharp and complement the image. I am not surprised that your cat uprooted the plant as they are rather shallow-rooted but need staking. Enjoy your Friday and the weekend. Danilo

Hi Beverly,
crisp, very sharp detail.
No doubt the result of good focus.

Well done.
Best regards, Daniel

Hello Bev,

A lovely pale colour Bev. Once again excellent OOB work and your flower has fine detail particularly in the centre. I did have a burnt orange one which I transplanted last time it died back, I must weed the section of garden where I replanted it and see if it still exists :).

Hi Bev,

Our purple and white dahlia's also seem to survive wind, rain and even storms.

Beautiful picture and absolutely lovely presentation to give just that extra nice touch.

Hello Bev,
this is a really delightful posting.These flowers look so fresh and sharp. Good PP skills (but they are hardly needed as the flowers would be perfect on there own).
