Best of Dahlia in my garden

Each year, beside other flowers, Dahlia ornaments my garden with its unique grace and beauty. Its large flowers attract instant attention of anyone entering my home garden. Today I am sharing some of the best photos of this beautiful flower that I have taken in last years. Even the last photo is of the sprouting dahlia at present in my house garden. I have also shared these at Flickr (Jalalspages).

Happy viewing of this wonderful flower and my photographic adventures.

Our First Dahlia

We have recently shifted into our new house and the first priority of my wife was to set up our little garden with ornamental plants and flowers. We bought some of our favourites, including the double dahlia. Beside marigold what we planted and have since grown, a few days before our red and pink double dahlia started to come out of their sprouts. Today when almost fully grown and in bloom, I decided to take a shot to preserve our first dahlia flowers. This is the pink one, majestic and beautiful.

For those who love flowers, I add here that dahlia is named after Swedish 18th-century botanist Anders Dahl. In German the dahlia was known during most of the 19th century as Georgia, being named after the naturalist Johann Gottlieb Georgi of St. Petersburg, Russia.

There are some three dozen species of dahlia, of these hybrid dahlia is usually grown as garden ornamental plant.

Since dahlia has been our favourite flower, it has always been part of our garden wherever we have been. Photographs of some of our dahlia can be seen at Jalalspages (Flickr). Links to a few best shots are as under:

The magnificent Dahlia

Of all the flowers, the full bloomed double Dahlia is my favourite. Every season this beautiful flowers blossoms in my garden and satisfies my photographic adventures on these. Dahlia is a perennial plant which is native to Central America, Mexico and Colombia. 

There are 36 known verities of Dahlia. While these have ornamental value in the home gardens, it is also used for food.

And one important information: Dahlia is named after an 18th century Swedish botanist Andres Dahl.

The above photo of Dahlia from my garden was shot by me and I feel pleased to share it.
