Wordless Wednesday - dahlia


Deuil Du Roi Albert dahlia, 1936

Albert, the beloved “people’s king” of Belgium, died in 1934, hence its unusual name: “Mourning for King Albert.”

  3. Beautiful!

    AA Milne's favourite flower was the dahlia... I'm astounded by how many there are, and how different they all are too.
