I know much of the USA got hit by winter storms again this weekend, so I thought I would post some bright flowers to cheer us all up a bit. This is my entry for Look Up, Look Down Challenge, Week 28. ENJOY!

This was a dahlia was in the Test Gardens at Swan Island. Wonder if they meant to have two centers. I doubt it.
