I bet you didn't realize how bad ass dahlias are.
Per the
Puget Sound Dahlia Association website:
"It's a waterlily -- It's a cactus -- It's an orchid -- It's a peony. They're all dahlias. The most versatile of garden flowers, dahlias are available in dozens of shapes and in sizes ranging from petite mignons and poms little more than an inch across to giant decoratives over a foot in diameter. They come in a dazzling array of colors - reds, pinks, yellows, oranges, lavenders -- that complement just about any garden setting.
Unlike the varieties that grandma used to grow, today's dahlias boast much more refined growth habits, with stronger stems and more proportionately sized foliage to better withstand rain and wind. Although dahlias are native to the highland areas of Mexico and Central America, they are particularly fond of our cool-summer Northwest Coast climate in Washington State, and it's easy for anyone to grow them to perfection with very little care.
As members of the Puget Sound Dahlia Association, the largest local group of dahlia growers and admirers in the United States, we'd be delighted to share with you our knowledge and enthusiasm for these glorious flowers."
Hobbits like them too.
