Dahlia blossom in daylight - darklight... 

Dahlias originally come  mainly from the high plains of Mexico. The Dahlia has been in Europe for over two hundred years. The first tubers came from Mexico to the Botanical Gardens in Madrid towards the end of the eighteenth century. Did you know that the name "DAHLIA" was given by Antonio José Cavanilles in honour of Andreas Dahl, Swedish scientist and environmentalist.
