I love dahlia season. This variety in particular is one of my favorites. So round with tight little mounds of colored petals.
The way the petals are formed makes me think of the kids who could curl their tongues in school. I always wished I could do that.
You can’t curl your tongue? I heard that its actually a skill that is genetic. I can curl my tongue however the amazing 3 leaf clover some can make with their tongue still eludes me. I also wasn’t able to whistle till I was about 20. Its so weird all those little things! (everyone still remembers that kid in 2nd grade who was double jointed!).
Did you know Shell can do this? I can’t …. so that means your father probably can!
