Today, September 9, 2018 we celebrated
the life of UDS member and dear friend,
Sandy Burgess.
Several members of The Utah Dahlia Society generously gifted dahlias to decorate the Orangerie in Red Butte Garden which Sandy's husband, Bob and son, Jason chose as the setting for this memorable event.
Thank you to everyone that contributed their precious flowers. Megan Badger, our friend, Teri Peterson and I were grateful for such lovely blooms to arrange centerpieces to honor Sandy.
This photo shows all the dahlia blooms from UDS friends, along with Limelight Hydrangeas from my garden and greenery from Murray Park. The roses were the only flowers purchased to accent one of Sandy's favorite colors and are appropriately named "Movie Star".
These dahlias were cut from Sandy's own garden and were highlighted in the Buffet Centerpieces.
Ready to go!
