Testing a 3-part series across 3 friend publications

September? Dahlias! -Part 1

Photoshooting in the shores of the Swiss city of Morges, capital in April for tulips and in September for dahlias.

This was a timely topic suitable for three friend publications, and I had lots of photos, so I made a three-part story out of them: part 2 - part 3

Morges is a small city located in canton Vaud, not far from its capital Lausanne. That’s all in the French-speaking part of Switzerland. Morges extends along the shore of Lac Leman (=Lake Geneva, photos here), enjoying all year long a stunning view of the ever-white Mont Blanc.

All along the coast, Morges dresses throughout the year a number of changing plant species, most of them very rich in flowers. But twice per year, two specific kinds of flowers dominate the city:

In April and May, the city hosts the Fete des tulips, where tulips take over the city, especially its coast and the gardens behind its castle-turned-museum by the lake. The tulips, contributed by various individuals and organizations all around, are carefully arranged into artwork (I will cover this next spring!).
And right now, from August to October, the city hosts tens of carefully selected and arranged varieties of dahlias, set all along the coast. Here is a selection of photos of these dahlias, taken on a splendid day of September.
