Duel for my Dahlias
by Barbara Barrick McKie
The third in my flower reflections series. These collarette type dahlias called Pooh variety seem to collect all kinds of insects, many several at a time. I captured this yellow swallowtail butterfly and a Japanese beetle together for this composition, but I've also seen hummingbirds, other butterflies, and most of all bees, as many as 4 on one flower at a time. The blue is a reflection of our pool near the flowers.
Disperse dyed polyester, machine appliqued and machine quilted.
