I decided this year for my accent flowers were to be Dahlias. I planted them to accent the Calla Lilies and Rose bushes. Here is the results of the planting.
There is this neat red and white one with a bumble bee and a little bug.
The orange and yellow one put on quite the show. It was late in life but the bee still check it out.
Just check out the red colorful one.
The purple and white one is very special combination.
Since it was a mixture of plants I have many more combinatios to show next week.

Great colors to add to your yard, Tom. I love all of those colors --and especially the ones with white in them. Beautiful.
Hugs to you both,

These dahlias are quite different frm the ones I'm used to. Very pretty!
Absolutely beautiful, love the one with the bee
I have never seen Dahlias like these before. Gorgeous!
What a lovely view of your garden and MARVELOUS macros of these 'visitors' to your colorful blossoms!

Beautiful color. flowers and the Bee is simply ((bee-utiful!))
You have some beautiful dahlias, Tom. I used to have some dahlias when I lived in the midwest, but haven't planted any recently. I really need to get some.
I like your dahlias very much!
They are gorgeous, Fishing Guy.
I love your beautiful dahlias and they look the way I thought dahlias sould look. The ones that I saw in Seattle were so tall...4-5'. I loved them, but couldn't imagine where to plant them.
They are wonderful Tom!! I love dahlias!! That last one is especially attractive.
Gorgeous flowers, so many pretty colors. Thanks for sharing them.
Great photos of some great colorful flowers. Next year I may have to join you - right now most of my flowers are gone.
What beautiful flower pictures, Tom. I like the flowers with the bug: well photographed.
That purple/white combo reminds me of huckleberry pie with ice cream.

Dahlias are great plants and you have beautiful colors of them. I enlarged the first photo and I love the flower garden with the critters, do you have one for every 'live' critter you see? That crossing sign is adorable!

Those are incredible dahlias!
Amazing colors of flowers. I wouldn't want to live indoors with gardens like that! =)
I especially like that purple and white one... how unique that one is. I don't recall ever seeing one like that...
Boy, you are getting good with your camera. Time maybe to become a professional photographer.
So glorious. Have to embrace them each day!
Beautiful flowers.
