Flower Photo: Giant Red Dahlia

Red Dahlia Photo By Aquariann

A friend received three giant red dahlias for her birthday and let me loom over them for awhile. Another angle is available if you follow me on Instagram. I should have photographed them beside another object to show you the scale - they were among the biggest flowers I've ever seen!

How To Plant Your Own Post for Flower Friday:
The only rule to play is that you can only add one link per week! The post doesn't even have to mention flowers, but only ones that do will be eligible for being picked as a feature next week. I will be sharing my flower image on other blog hops, namely Wordless Wednesday, and welcome all family-friendly links from fellow bloggers. Crafters can even link up an Etsy listing or other shop product! But if you want to promote a prize, I suggest adding it to my Giveaway Chest Linky instead to entice more treasure hunters.

Please follow my blog through any of the social media icons in the upper right sidebar to receive a reminder to return next week. Adding my button or a text link to your own blog and sharing to your followers is also a fairy appreciated way to help my hop grow.

Other flower hops where I've planted my post this week include Floral Friday Fotos, I Heart Macro, Saturday Show Off and Today's Flower.

Handmade Giveaway: Spring Leaf Anklet by Erthe Fae Designs

EDIT: Giveaway is officially over! Congratulations to the randomly chosen 95th commenter, Brooke! The season of buds and blossoms isn't over yet! The spring leaf anklet above will bloom into a lovely addition to one reader's accessory garden. It is one of a kind, planted in the Erthe Fae Designs studio by AJ Reardon. The Czech glass beads and satiny leaf-shaped beads are strung on sturdy, flexible beading cable which holds up well to daily wear. Anklet is adjustable from 10" to 12" and fastens securely with a sterling silver lobster clasp and extender chain. The delicate hues of green and opalescent white will catch the light, whether you're wearing it with a shimmering belly dance costume or a casual pair of capri pants.

Jewelry Giveaway: Silver Wreath Ring by Kate Szabone

EDIT: Giveaway is officially over. Congratulations to Linda Meyers-Gabbard for submitting the randomly chosen 702nd entry. Have you dragged your holiday decorations out of the attic and dusted off the Christmas wreath yet? One reader will win the above sterling silver band by Kate Szabone Jewellery and get to hang a wreath ring around her finger during any season. The design is reminiscent of a budding rose branch. The band looks simply lovely on its own, but can be stacked with two or more rings. Kate even makes a matching engagement ring, available in 14k white, yellow or rose gold and set with a rose cut diamond or moissanite stone! Walking through the wonderland of Kate's online shop is a beautiful sight. Her jewelry is inspired by the simplicity and complexity of nature, the Art Nouveau movement and her mother - a photographer, spinner and fibre artist. Kate uses a range of recycled metals, natural gemstones and conflict-free diamonds whose sparkles are even breathtaking...
