Soaring Heart Dahlias

Pennsgift is a whopper! I love the color and size, but the form is messy. I love to grow the giants, because it just takes one in a vase to make a bouquet.

Pennsgift (AA ID L) has been around a long time - introduced by S. Johnson around 1970 I’m wondering if that could be Stanley Johnson (the one they named the Stanley Johnson medal after - I digress).

I’ll keep growing this one for the wow factor!

I’m over the rainbow grateful for everyone who came out to support my flower stand today.

I’ve met so many nice neighbors when putting out flowers. 🌺 💐

It makes me so happy to hear that bouquets bring color and joy to you. Some of you have come each week since I first put out the cart last year.

Thanks again for supporting my little endeavor. I appreciate you!

For those of you who live too far away to get bouquets, I hope you enjoy the photos of beautiful flowers since the goal of growing flowers is to share joy!

My recipe for happiness. Find a couple things that bring you joy. Do those things!

Work will always be there - schedule the things you want to do. Dahlias and horses are my top two. I also love unexpected joys like seeing the sunrise, sunset, clouds, birds, and all the little amazing things in life.
