Dahlia Festivals

Dahlia Festivals

Flowers are fantastic and today we're chatting about Dahlia Festivals.

 

Many Dahlia Societies in the United States have been around since the early 1900s.  Fancy women have been loving these fancy flowers for a while now.  And we love them too.

 

If you take enough moments with these impressive flowers, Dahlias are sure to grow on you.  

 

Growing dahlia from seed produces a new variety every time.  This leaves dahlia cultivation open to artistry.  Many humans specialize in hybridizing dahlias each season.  There are thousands of varieties and a big old community to go along with them.

 

 

 

Dahlias are very popular today and there are many thousands of varieties.  Vibrant flowers of many sizes, dahlias have won over many hearts.

Growing up on a flower farm has me keenly aware of the spectacular beauty of garden tours.  There's a whole thing.  For much of my childhood, my vacations were mostly spent at other people's gardens.
