"Dahlia"

Photo courtesy of Scott April. The end of summer is quickly approaching, but if the volume of "flower" photo submissions is any indication this must have been a banner year for many of the country's flower gardeners. Photographer Scott April submitted this unique image of a cluster of gorgeous Yellow Dahlia blossoms, and he sent the following information along with it: "This photo was taken Labor Day weekend at Manito Park in Spokane, Washington. They have an entire garden filled with all different colors and species of Dahlia. I couldn't decide which picture to send in so I sent two. These flowers are absolutely magnificent! Enjoy!!"   --Scott April I had a difficult time deciding between your two wonderful photographs myself Scott, but in the end this one won out. You did a great job at capturing the raw beauty of one of the world's most stunning flowers.     Visitor Comments... Name: Ron Trees Town: Spokane, WA Beautiful picture Scott!!
