FOTD: “Mystic Illusion” Dahlia from the Back!
Yesterday, for Cee’s FOTD, I posted the most amazing dahlia, called “Mystic Illusion” which I photographed while at the Chicago Botanic Gardens. Here are dahlias from that same patch, from the back. They don’t even look real!
Note: I had scheduled this to publish two days ago, on Aug. 26. I don’t know why it didn’t. Sorry it’s two days late!

Ironweed is a plant native to northern Illinois and its purple flowers attract butterflies due to its bright color as well as the plant’s abundant nectar. It grows among the grasses and other plants along the edge of one of our ponds here at The Moorings.
