This wall art features Dahlia
‘Waltzing Matilda’ photographed in my garden in October 2020.
Dahlia flowers are stunning, long flowering and very
photogenic. According to The National Dahlia Society, the
dahlia has been in Europe for over two hundred years. It came
from Mexico to the Botanical Gardens in Madrid towards the end
of the eighteenth century.
Today,
there are cultivars in the form of the waterlily, the paeony,
the orchid, the chrysanthemum and the anemone, then there are
the main formations like the decorative, the cactus and
semi-cactus types and the ball forms that have as their
smallest relative the popular Pompon dahlias that beguile so
many gardeners. |
