STRUCTURE... DAHLIA

 

Amazing when you study the structure of the different flowers.

Nature is MIRACULOUS!

 

A Dahlia, looks like it is on fire, each petal like a ’licking’ flame.

 

Brought back from the Continent, they sadly did not ’survive’ the trip very well.

 

Dahlia is a genus of bushy, tuberous, perennial plants native to Mexico, Central America, and Colombia. There are at least 36 species of dahlia.

 

Dahlia hybrids are commonly grown as garden plants.

 

The Aztecs gathered and cultivated the dahlia for food, ceremonies, as well as decorative purposes, and the long woody stem of one variety was used for small pipes.

 

The dahlia is named after Swedish 18th-century botanist Anders Dahl.

 

I must admit, I do not like the 'fragrance' of Dahlias .

 

 

Thank for your time and comments, greatly appreciated, M, (*_*)
