Dahlias

Posted on December 1, 2024 by Bob Hahn Photography

Dahlias are perennial plants with tuberous roots, though they are grown as annuals in some regions with cold winters. While some have herbaceous stems, others have stems that lignify in the absence of secondary tissue and resprout following winter dormancy, allowing further seasons of growth. As a member of the Asteraceae, the dahlia has a flower head that is a composite with both central disc florets and surrounding ray florets. Each floret is a flower in its own right but is often incorrectly described as a petal. The modern name Asteraceae refers to the appearance of a star with surrounding rays.

Photographs taken at Delightful Dahlias on Mockingbird Hill Road, Lower Saucon Township, PA. There are more than 100 varieties of dahlias bloom in four separate gardens spread across one-and-a-half acres

A Day at the Zoo

Posted on July 25, 2021 by Bob Hahn Photography

Lehigh Valley Zoo located in the heart of the Trexler Nature Preserve, is home to more than 325 animal ambassadors representing over 125 species.

Founded in 1906 by General Harry C. Trexler, a local industrialist, the Trexler Nature Preserve has played a significant role in saving the North American bison from extinction by providing a place where both bison and elk could roam freely undisturbed. In 1935, the County of Lehigh took ownership of the Preserve and, in 1974, construction began on the Preserve’s 29-acre Zoo. In 2004, Lehigh Valley Zoological Society assumed management of the Zoo, as well as the daily management of the bison and elk herd and the palominos in the 1,100-acre Trexler Nature Preserve.
