Took this last month at my community garden. I turned around and HOLY SHIT! The dahlia tree was in bloom. The first time I saw the tree I stood open-mouthed. Those look just like dahlias, but it is a tree! Can that happen? Turns out it can, and last month it was in bloom. I stood looking up at fifteen foot sprays of dahlias and was nearly bedazzled. Today is cold and grey, and not much is blooming. I will have to remember that the world contains things like a whole tree of dahlias.
Flowers and infrastructure? I can only sigh in happiness.
