DAHLIAS AND ROSES AND BEGONIAS, OH MY!

And a few others I couldn't pass up...found in the Botanical Gardens at Shore Acres State Park, Oregon on a sunny, windless day.

 The Dahlias

 

 

 Not a Dahlia, but with flowers like an Orchid, leaves like a Day Lilly, exquisitely painted by Mother Nature

Another "Not a Dahlia!"

 

 The Rose Garden scented the air with heady perfume

 

The Begonia Greenhouse displayed a distinct collection.  Someone had been having a great time developing unique varieties -- a few looked like they had been crossed with Petunias! 

Or an egg, over easy!
