A dahlia is a round, daisy shaped flower that is similar to a mum but more garden soft, refined. There are a million different varieties that aren't commercially grown but should be. Dahlias are grown locally in California. We have the most amazing dahlia collection here. There is also a big dahlia society in England. There are really beautiful old world dahlias that would be amazing if they were grown here. We'd have flowers that you've never seen.
