Dinner Plate Pink Dahlia

Dinner Plate Pink Dahlia is one my front yard's pride and joy. It can't be any happier where I've planted it. Right beneath my nectarine tree, it is shaded and receiving enough sunshine throughout the summer. It has produced many off-springs to be given away to many of our friends and relatives. I have also split the same bulbs to plant underneath the Fuji Apple Tree. And I am happy to note today that the Dinner Plate Pink Dahlia sisters are doing great as well.

Beyond this Pink Dahlia spill, I wanted to send a sincere request for your pardon of my lack of posts last week. I was fine and healthy, though it was one of those weeks I had to handle unexpected events beyond my control, which had consumed all my time and energy. So excuse me while I am reorganizing my thoughts, I am in the midst of figuring out how to bring all last week's excitement to Self Sagacity in a chronological order. While I think too much lag time between posts has destroy my Alexa traffic rank. Anyhow, I am not worried, do you think I am? After all, what does it mean to blog? Well, c
heck out my articles on Google Page Rank, Part I and Google Page Rank, Part II. Most importantly, stay tune for more excitement coming next week...

  3. My dear, despite of all, thanks for taking the time to visit and leave some suggestions in my blog..
    Yeah, I did realise and I guessed as much because somehow, I seemed to be pretty 'busy' or rather 'overwhelmed' by many events taking place after one another here at my side..
    What's comforting though is knowing there is someone like you at the other side of the world, taking the time for me in whatever midst.. We will just get through this period of time just like those many times before.. But of course, this time round with more well-wishes and blessings from friends.. :)

  4. These are gorgeous pink dahlia!

    Oh, by "chance we meet" would be a great event, and to wrap up "the unfinished business" for closure sound like great titles for a book!

  16. Your photos are fantastic, I would be proud to have such a flower in my garden. It's hard to keep up with blogging sometimes. I have a hard time myself so please don't feel any pressure here. Blogging should be fun for whenever you have time to share. Life gets in the way quite a bit I know. I hope next week runs more smoothly for you.

  19. Wow. these are beautiful! When I was a mere child I met another child by the name of Dahlia. I loved her name. I wanted her name. I've never forgotten her name and every time I see this name I remember that person. I wish I remembered her face.
