In my garden there is
a large place for sentiment. My garden of flowers
is also my garden of thoughts and dreams. The
thoughts grow as freely as the flowers, and the
dreams are as beautiful. ~Abram L. Urban |

Dahlia
| |
Dahlias are often grown for judged
shows. Awards are given for best in
class and best in show. Traditionally,
dahlias grown for shows have used
intensive application of pesticides and
inorganic fertilizers. More recently,
however, competitive dahlia growers have
used organic methods with equally good
results |
| 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 also known as Tenjikubotan
(天竺牡丹) in Japanese, which literally
means 'Peony of India'. According to the
Japanese language of flowers, it means 'good
taste'. |
|
Dahlias grow naturally in climates which
do not experience frost, consequently
they are not adapted to withstand
sub-zero temperatures. |
Since
1813, commercial plant breeders have
been breeding dahlias to produce
thousands of cultivars, usually chosen
for their stunning and brightly coloured
waxy flowers. |
