Dahlias & Late Bloomers: a free large-print word search
Dahlias & late bloomers, free and large-print. Copper, russet, wine, the garden saves its boldest colors for last.
About Dahlias & Late Bloomers
As summer loosens its grip, the garden doesn't fade, it blazes. Dahlias throw up plate-sized blooms in every shade from ivory to near-black, while asters throw soft violet clouds above the fading grass. Sedum crowns deepen from dusty pink to rich copper-bronze, and the whole border hums with one last, unhurried show before the first frost settles in.
