I was keen to do some flower photography after a lazy bank holiday weekend – and fancied the idea of taking some cut flower images. What better variety to choose than dahlias ?  I love it when ‘Dahlia Season’ comes around …

These striking dahlias were purchased from the award-winning Rob Sherriff at Tye barn in Honey Tye, Leavenheath – just a stone’s throw away from my home …

Weston Spanish Dancer is a miniature cactus dahlia – and certainly conveys the fiery impression of a passionate flamenco dance.

It is a fabulous dahlia to photograph and I highly recommended it as a cut flower. It is simply stunning.

Definitely a Top Ten Dahlia …
