Dahlia detail with raindrops - a photo on Flickriver

            Dahlias are worldwide considered of the most popular and spectacular garden flowers. 
They are natives of the sandy hillsides of Mexico, Central America, and northwestern South America. 
Dahlias were cultivated by the Aztecs, taken to Europe by the Spaniards in the 18th century, and soon spread throughout the world in widely different climates. 
There are at least 42 species of dahlia and over 20,000 cultivars. 
There is a great variety of form in dahlias.

Dahlia's worden wereldwijd beschouwd als een van de meest populaire tuinbloemen. 
Oorspronkelijk zijn ze afkomstig van de zandige heuvels in Mexico, Midden-Amerika en noordwestelijk Zuid-Amerika. 
Dahlia's werden in de 16e eeuw al gekweekt door de Azteken, in de 18e eeuw zijn ze naar Europa gehaald door de Spanjaarden, en al snel over de hele wereld verspreid. 
In 1872 werden dahlia's in Nederland geïntroduceerd.
De oorspronkelijke dahlia's - er zijn circa 42 soorten in het wild - zijn kale opgaande overblijvende planten met langwerpige, knolachtige wortels. Het aantal hybriden is al meer dan 20.000 in een grote verscheidenheid aan vormen en kleuren.
