Dahlia

Dahlia's are one of my all time favourite flowers, (along with peonies, agapanthus, magnolia, roses...i could go on!) I love the fact that there can be fantastic firey red spikey flowers, massive lolly pink blooms, and these delicate creamy elegant balls. I was fortunate enough to buy a posey at the market on the weekend, it was a very successful market trip. I found a fantastic hand carved wooden spoon, complete with unique bend, made out of banksia timber. Sold to me by the very man who carved it, and regrettably something I didn't buy a gorgeous 60's gold chain and rose bud pendant, I have my fingers crossed it will still be there this coming weekend.

I love dahlias! Nice shot. I treated myself to some fresh flowers in the weekend too. They are so uplifting.

Oh I forgot to say that if you go onto the BBC Radio 1 website you can listen to Thom & Ed Radiohead take over Zane Lowe's show.
Thought you would be interested.

Catherine - I can't believe the news about Heath Ledger! Am gutted at the loss.
