Swan Island

Last Monday afternoon we drove to the north side of Canby.  There the Swan Island Dahlia farm is located.  The graphics on their trucks say, "The Nations Largest Producer of Dahlia Bulbs" and I believe it.  Acres and acres of Dahlias of all colors, sizes, and flower types.  When you think of these flowers, you think of large blossoms that resemble intricately folded crepe paper.  At Swan Island the plants vary from chest high to 12-15 inches and the blossoms from 6-8 inches to 1-2 inches.  Lots of photo opportunities plus the gift shop sells cut flowers and offers bulbs for your home garden.  The bulbs can be ordered online as well for delivery in the spring.
