Yesterday, was our Fall field trip at school.
We took the kids to a couple of parks in Canby where they ate lunch, played games and went on a pumpkin hunt also.
This year we added an additional stop and went to see the Swan Island Dahlias.
Everything was in bloom and looked so beautiful.
I couldn't resist taking pictures.
Just click on the photos to get a bigger picture of the Dahlias.
This is just a small portion of the dahlias they offer.
You can order these on-line this Spring.
I loved this "Platnium Blond" Dahlia it reminded me of Peonies, one of my favorites!
The "Japanese Bishop" Dahlia was interesting.
If you touch the tip of the bud, red liquid comes out.
I wouldn't have known that but when you look at flowers with a 1st grader you find out these things. (o:
"Dad's Favorite" loved that one too!
They also had a Koi Pond!
And last, I couldn't resist collecting all the Chestnuts I could find, well not all.
Perfect for Fall!
Prickly too!

I love that farm and the dahlias are one of my favorite, they just keep going and going. I found you at Monticello Antiques, I have been trying to figure out where your store was and now I know. I love your space. Enjoy your week. Florence

Oh my goodness Debbie, the Dahlia farm is wonderful! Thanks for sharing the pictures. I planted dahlias this year and am hoping they will survive the winter.

Dahlias are my favorite. I didn't realize the farm still had some since I missed the show. Maybe I'll have to drive down to visit. Thanks
