Dahlia ... Betty Bowen

Oh that is simply gorgeous! What a great bloom.

beautiful

Thanks Eileen .. I have my cousin coming over here in Oct. from Queensland , Bernieh .... I,m looking forward to that , they always think it's so cold here . !

Well compared to most places in Queensland it is! Bet they have a great time ... and October should be a bit cooler there than it will be here, that's for sure.

They don't like it cool Bernieh , I'll probably be stoking the fire up for them LOL.. . when they go back they are moving to a new property at Banksia Beach , do you know it ?

For those of us who rarely see a fireplace let alone a fireplace fire ... it's something rather special. Yes I've heard of Banksia Beach - that's on Bribie Island which is a beautiful spot way down south near our capital city. I haven't been there but I do know people who have lived on Bribie Island and they absolutely loved it! Who wouldn't?

love this one

Thanks Bernieh , it sounds lovely , they will be itching to get back to start their new life there ..:o)
