Right place for Dahlias
Today, Aurelia and I visited Volunteer Park. This is one of my favorite parks in the city. Not only is it beautiful but it contains the Asian Art Museum (free on the first Thurs and Sat of the month), the Conservatory (perfect to visit in the dead of winter for color therapy) and the Dahlia garden. This garden contains the most magnificent floral blooms in all shades and varieties. Today we happened upon the caretaker of the garden who was pruning the plants. We were in the right place at the right time to bring home 6 bouquet fulls of clipped blossoms...otherwise they were just going to be thrown away. Here are some pictures!

The gardener gave them to the right people... someone else might not appreciate them so much!
