Smile, Dahlia!

I finally got around to taking a picture of the dahlia that I dug up a few days ago:

I didn't have time to wash the root before taking this picture since I wanted to ensure that the light was strong to capture any details. It's not as large as some of the other dahlia tubers that I've seen online, but maybe it's because I forgot to water it for the most part. The one flower it produced in the fall was really pretty and I'm looking forward to getting it back in the ground next year.
