A Perfect White Dahlia - a photo on Flickriver

            Every year, the Tesselaar family, famous for their tulips, host two flower festivals at their show garden premises in Silvan in the Dandenong Ranges on the outskirts of Melbourne.  They began many years ago with their Tulip Festival in spring, which attracts visitors locally, from interstate and internationally.  However in the last few years, the Tesselaar family have started hosting an autumn festival too, called “Ka-Bloom”.  The Ka-Bloom festival sees the gardens filled with colour from mass plantings of snapdragons, marigolds, salvias and dahlias.

The theme for "Looking Close on Friday" for the 9th of June is "a single white flower".  Of course I could have submitted one of the many white roses shots I have (white roses are my favourite flower), however when the theme was announced, I remembered the photograph I had taken of a perfect white dahlia bloom in the gardens of the Tesselaar Ka-Bloom festival, just a short while ago, in April this year.  This bloom is what I settled on.  I hope you like my choice for the theme this week, and that it makes you smile.
