Oh well, ignorance is bliss.<br /><br />CBChristine B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08335289758548637661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3462867846580440325.post-86265544152376563072013-08-08T16:36:18.596-07:002013-08-08T16:36:18.596-07:00I love me a big dahlia as well.

Alaska usually leads the pack in the U.S. as far as alcohol-related social ills, which has a great deal to do with the homeless situation. There are shelters for them in the winter but some camp out and every year there are deaths from exposure.<br /><br />The Town Square perennials seem to be limited to delphiniums, but maybe I blinked and missed something else.<br /><br />CBChristine B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08335289758548637661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3462867846580440325.post-82932345666028079132013-08-08T01:25:30.203-07:002013-08-08T01:25:30.203-07:00Lovely and colourful.Lovely and colourful.Sue Garretthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08164518448098182276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3462867846580440325.post-57272012812325035912013-08-07T18:16:47.806-07:002013-08-07T18:16:47.806-07:00Those are some very vibrant plantings!

Maybe it's a seasonal thing. Or maybe they hibernate in snow caves during the winter? <br /><br />Nice flower photos. I guess they'd have to grow annuals since the selection of hardy perennials is extremely limited. I wonder if they spray them with moose repellent. Or maybe I'm showing my ignorance. :) GRACE PETERSONhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04520343332670354262noreply@blogger.com
