Dahlia Burst - a photo on Flickriver

Dahlia Burst

Dahlia photographed at the Butchart Gardens in Victoria, British Columbia -- a truly remarkable place to visit. I could have easily spent a whole day meandering the gardens and photographing, but alas, we were on a tight schedule and I could only spent a couple hours there. I hope to be able to return, someday, to this slice of heaven.

From the Butchart Gardens web site: "Fifty-five acres of wonderful floral display are open to the public, offering spectacular views from the many paths that meander through the four main gardens. In 1904, Jennie Butchart began to beautify a worked-out quarry site left behind from her husband's pioneering efforts in the manufacture of portland cement. The family's commitment to horticulture and hospitality spans 100 years, and continues to delight visitors from all over the world. From the exquisite Sunken Garden to the charming Rose Garden, the gracious traditions of the past are still maintained in one of the loveliest corners in the world."
