Amazing Dahlias

After a dear friend and client's mother, whose favorite flower was the Dahlia, passed away last Friday, we decided this week would be about Dahlias at Le Fleur. The Dahlia is a genus of bushy, tuberous, perennial plants native to Mexico, Central America and Columbia, and there are at least 36 species. The Dahlia is also known as Tenjikubotan in Japanese, which means "Peony of India." According to the Japanese language of flowers, it means "good taste." Below are some of our favorites.
