Dahlia flowers in the Chicago area a precious gems. These tuberous plants need to be dug up or covered up each winter; they are natives to Mexico and unable to endure Chicago winters. Copyright 2025 Pamela BreitbergThese lush Dahlias, shown today, were blooming curbside outside an apartment building. How kind of the planter to place them for public enjoyment. Yes, I do judge apartment buildings by the maintenance of the outdoor property area. Copyright 2025 Pamela BreitbergThe Dahlia do slow me down as I walk down the street. They do deserve a close look. Copyright 2025 Pamela BreitbergSlowly the blooms change to seed. Slow enough to enjoy awhile longer. Copyright 2025 Pamela BreitbergRead about Dahlia here. Copyright 2025 Pamela Breitberg
