That woke you up didn’t it! This is Dahlia ‘Kilburn Glow’. No processing, honestly.
Welcome to Anglesey Abbey
Dahlia ‘Purple Pearl’
Dahlia decorated tree. Each flower is suspended in a test-tube of water.
Possibly my favourite …D. ‘Sandia Rose’
They’ve decorated the duckweed infested Quy waters by the mill. Very Millais! No bodies though.
Dahlia ‘Carolina Moon’
A nod to Empress Joséphine’s obsession with dahlias
D. ‘Bracken Lorelei’
Anglesey Abbey’s Dahlia Festival runs from 12th Sept until 1st Oct

What fun thanks, I might have to go and have a look.
They’ve got some lovely varieties in their rainbow display (the dedicated Dahlia garden), but I wish there was better access to them.
I love the dahlias in the duckweed! Gorgeous photos.
I liked them there too, but the duckweed is very thick this year. If one goes under … it is lost!
How wonderfully inventive.
Agreed … that is what makes me dash over to look.
That dahlia-wrapped tree is wonderful!
Yes, an elegant trunk for the display.
Fabulous!
Yes and amazing to think that they only plant a third in the gardens … the rest is grown out of sight for arrangements etc.
This was so lovely. Lucky you!
