Spring

Posted on April 21, 2026 by Bob Hahn Photography

Spring feels great because it’s the season where everything wakes up at once—plants, animals, even people. If you’re someone who pays close attention to nature, spring is basically the world turning the lights back on.
Life returns fast — Trees leaf out, bulbs erupt, and your landscape shifts from gray to green in what feels like days. That sudden burst of growth is energizing.
Bloom succession begins — Early ephemerals, flowering shrubs, and fruit trees kick off the first wave of nectar for bees and butterflies. It’s the start of your pollinator garden’s “busy season.”
The air changes — Warmer temperatures, longer daylight, and that unmistakable scent of thawed soil and new growth. Humans are wired to respond to these cues.

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
