Dahlia - LR9A1784

Dahlia has a rich symbolism: the flower stands for wealth and elegance, and also for love and involvement. It’s a perfect flower to express your love! For the Aztecs, Dahlia was a religious symbol, besides food the flower was used in different types of ceremonies. Colors, Shapes, and Availability How many beautiful colors do you want to have? There is so much choice, from the gorgeous Black Fox to Café Au Lait (peach). Every year, there is more and more choice. Not only in color, but also in petal and flowerhead shape. There are now more than 1000 species, and we can divide those into single and double flowering. Beautiful pompon and ball dahlias, or the totally different (semi) cactus Dahlias. This flower always amazes you! Normally a fall flower, but luckily for us now available from March till September.
