Dahlia Love - May Flower Challenge

I absolutely love dahlias but have never had much luck in them lasting in my pots.  This year we're trying AGAIN to have them around because my husband loves them too.  I wonder if they've gotten too much water in the past, still going to try no matter what.  I figure I better share them now while they still look amazing.

Here are a few shots I took with my i-phone and instagram this weekend because they are still alive and well (we've only had them planted for about a week)!

I hope you enjoy these flowers - to me they are perfect.  Honestly I look at them and can't imagine a more perfect flower.  If you have a chance stop by and visit Lori Moon who is hosting this May Flower blog challenge.  Enjoy your week and take time to notice the flowers around you!  It really makes a difference.

Big Flowers

I finally finished this painting of flowers--it took me forever.  The roses gave me a hard time--I wanted them to have texture and actually look like roses.  I like it because the flowers and vine of blue berries are larger and it's fun and freeing to do bigger scale things. 

I still haven't named it yet--nothing is popping into my head when I look at it right now.  Any ideas from anyone?  I'd love some !  Really.  I would.  Seriously.
