Dahlia: A variety of flower types, sizes, and colors make these flowers new favorites from spring through fall

摘要

Say my name The botanical name "Dahlia" (doll-yuh, dal-yuh) is the only term by which these flowers are referred because they have no common name. Pronunciations vary in the English-speaking world, but because this genus was named in honor of Swedishbotanist Dr. Anders Dahl (1751-1789), "doll-yuh" or even "doll-ee-uh" logically would be the most appropriate. physical attributes Dahlias have many bloom types, which range in diameter from about 2 to 10 inches. The American Dahlia Society (ADS) categorizes Dahlias into 20 groups based on size and form (see variety glossary on Page 20 for a list and photos of these classifications). Stems are leafy, hollow and woody and, as cut flowers, usually range from 12 to 24 inches in length.
