DAHLIA
Dahlias, Dahlia, are any of several perennial, tuberous, flowering plants that belong to the composite family, Compositae. The large flowers appear in most colors except blue. Dahlias were first discovered in the mountains of Mexico in the 16th century by a Spanish expedition and were later named in honor of Andreas Dahl, a Swedish botanist, because of his interest in the plant. In colder climates, the tubers are dug up and stored over the winter.
