A
yellow Dahlia bloomed near my uncle’s woodhouse in Thandkudi and the way it
rose up from a long stem reminds me the standing mike in stage play.
Dahlia
is a genus of bushy, tuberous, herbaceous perennial plants native to Mexico and
it is related to species includes the sunflower, daisy, chrysanthemum, and
zinnia. The flower forms are variable, with one head per stem; these can be as
small as 5 cm diameter or up to 30 cm. The dahlia was declared the national flower
of Mexico in 1963.

ReplyDeleteDahlias grow here in or area but we have to dig them up as they don't winter over the snow and ice. The ground will freeze and kill their roots. It is a pretty flower.
