I was at the floral wholesalers the other day picking out flowers for a project and saw buckets of beautiful Dahlias and realized I hadn’t done a post on these beautiful blooms. Dahlias are one of my favorites this time of year, they generally come from Mexico and in 1963 Dahlias were named the national flower of Mexico.
Dahlias are related to sunflowers, zinnias, chrysanthemums and daisies, so that explains their look with all the little pocket areas in their blooms. Dahlias are one of those flowers that add a powerful punch to any arrangements they’re used in. The ones I saw the other day were a burgundy, but they also come in beautiful pinks and purples as well as white and sometimes white with colored edges. I love the orange dahlias that are available this time of year and they look wonderful in fall arrangements. I’ve gathered some examples of Dahlias growing and in arrangements for you, Enjoy!!!
I couldn’t resist using this charming picture of Dahlias in a basket, look how big those blooms are.
Burgundy Dahlias are so deep and rich looking.
This picture is of Dahlias growing in England, amazing colors.
A few Dahlias added to a bouquet, beautiful for an outdoor Autumn wedding.
This picture gives you an idea of how large the blooms can get.
Probably my favorite boutonniere.
An example of the beautiful lighter colors Dahlias come in.
Gorgeous painting of a Dahlia in bloom.
Beautiful Autumn arrangement with Dahlias peeking over the edge, love the pumpkins in the vase.
Whenever I look at Dahlias I always think of honeycomb.
Remember jars always make great containers for flowers, especially these beauties.
