Today I visited Veli Tourist Village, Trivandrum -Kerala. There I could see this Purple Dahlia and I took some pictures in my camera.

Some points about Dahlia share here.

  1. There are 42 species of dahlia.
  2. The dahlia was declared the national flower of Mexico in 1963.
  3. It's in the kingdom ` Plantae'
  4. Dahlia flower season begins in early spring and continues through summer into early fall.
  5. Dahlia was given its name by botanist and director of the Royal Gardens of Madrid Antonio José Cavanilles,
    who named the flower after another botanist, Andres Dahl.
