damaged dahlia

This little arrangement exists only because I damaged a larger one. I was trimming something from a big arrangement when I nicked this dahlia, rendering it short-stemmed. Here it is in a tiny Cracker Barrel syrup bottle. I love this color of dahlia wherevever I see it,  but I'm particularly in love with this one (and its dark foliage) because I grew it from seed. There's a long Asian bean in this photo, too.
