About these Images...

The Elva Sellens Collection of Dahlia Photos

Many of the original photos used for this website were scanned from the extensive collection of dahlia photographs that has been the continuing project of Elva Sellens of Roseburg, Oregon. Elva is a member of the Douglas County Dahlia Society and was Secretary of the Pacific Northwest Dahlia Conference(1997). She has assembled a collection of thousands of dahlia photographs, each identified with its variety name and ADS classification. We would like to thank Elva for allowing us to share her wonderful collection with the world.

Other Contributions

We would also like to thank others who have contributed their images to the collection. We regret that we are unable to track credits for individual images.

How you can help...

We have created a list of Frequently Asked Questions for anyone who would like to submit photos. Because of copyright concerns and because of the work involved in adding new pictures to the online database, we are being reasonably strict about following the guidelines for photo submissions in the FAQ. Please follow these guidelines in order to help us stay organized.

Here is a list of the Varieties that do not have photos online.

We look forward to your contributions. With your help, we have almost two thousand Dahlia photos online!
