Dahlias pictures for beginners

In nature, there is an incredible amount of a wide variety of flowers, but only dahlias can boast of an individual variety of varieties and species. Since dahlias entered the European part in the 18th century, this flower has changed more than 10 species and hundreds of colors.

At the moment, there are the following forms of flowers: simple and collar, peony and anemic, spherical and decorative, pompom and cactus, semi-cactus and, finally, mixed. And in each of the forms there are at least 5 varieties.

It is not surprising that a novice florist will be confused by such a wealth of colors and shapes; dahlias have no competitors in this among all existing garden flowers. For greater clarity, you can use dahlias pictures and a detailed description of the characteristics. Such pictures are found in professional florists and collectors of dahlias, as well as in special literature and, of course, on the Internet.

The presence of contrasts is surprising: dahlias can be thirty centimeter dwarfs in height, or they can exceed human growth; their flowers can be the size of a button, or they can reach the size of a large plate.

Another amazing plus is the flowering period - from mid-summer to the beginning of frost. At the same time, it is important to plant them in the spring after the end of all frosts.

Incredible contrasts also occur in the growing environment. Dahlias love loam but can thrive in almost any soil. These flowers adore the sun, but even in light partial shade, they will grow well and delight the eye with a riot of shades and colors.

Over time, as you transform from a novice to a specialist, you can collect your dahlias pictures and show them at the annual garden flower exhibitions.
