Bee Happy Dahlia

We spent the afternoon at the Swan Island Dahlia Farm in Canby, Oregon for their dahlia festival.
It is such an amazing place by any standard, but for a dahlia enthusiast it is paradise with acres and acres of blossoms to ogle.
The number and variety of the various cultivars these folks have developed is fantastic and the whimsical names given the beautiful creations hilarious.
Among my favorites is "Bee Happy" in this image.
