Late Summer Dahlias

What better way to arrive home after 9 days in New York City than to masses of hot pink, orange and red Dahlias all waiting to be arranged into fabulous party flowers for one of my favourite clients staff party...

All of our Dahlias are locally grown at Fraser Valley farms & bought fresh at our local flower auction each Tuesday & Thursday. They are not a long lived flower, with a vase life of 3-5 days, but they are so beautiful and available in so many saturated colours, that for $1.50 each they are well worth every penny. These should be available until late September, so if you are planning a party and want a big show for a great price keep Dahlias in mind!

Fantastic Colours
turn into Centrepieces for the outdoor tables...

Dinner Plate Dahlias....Only a very few stems of these are available from our local Auction, and colours are extremely limited. This yellow variety averages at $3.00 per stem and are about 10" in diameter. Last week there were about 50 stems total available for all of western Canada. If you are interested in these please call us in advance to place an order. (Unfortunately, no guarantees on availability)

A great gardening challenge too...
