Tyra's Garden is a small garden on the island of Resarö situated in the inner part of the archipelago near the small town Vaxholm, outside Stockholm. Tyra's Garden is mostly an ornamental vegetable garden, my potager. But flowers are of course an important ingredience, for beauty and pollination. The climate in these parts is quite demanding as the northerly winds can be strong and cold. THIS BLOG 'Tyra's Garden' is not entirely a gardenblog it contains much more. About me: Enthusiastic amateur gardener and photographer from Vaxholm, Sweden. Designed and built my Greenhouse and Potager in Tyra's Garden 2003.

Flowers of August - Zinnia and Dahlia

This post 'Flowers of August - Zinnia and Dahlia' was originally uploaded by Tyra Hallsénius-Lindhe in the blog TyrasTrädgård/Tyra's Garden


Today's flowers from my potager are Zinnia and Dahlia. I think, both are very stunning flowers, true eye-catchers in the garden. They are typical August flowers for me. Both this Dahlia 'Thomas Edison'and Zinnia 'Elegance' are the same height as myseft! I had to climp up on a stool to reach up and take this photo.

The Zinnia is from seed and was planted in April and the Dahlia is from tubers that I've had for some years now and was replanted in fertile soil in last May.

Zinnia and Dahlia, two of my favorite August blooms here in my Utah gardens! However, I've never seen a 'Thomas Edison' before... really need to find one... gorgeous!
