“Some people find dahlias distasteful. Their fulsome blooms, top-heavy with an excess of petals, are considered vulgar…. the conspicuous flaunting of so much provocative beauty can evoke a sense of foreboding. Perhaps the flower, nurtured and loved by tragic Empress Josephine, who traded on her looks but lost Napoleon, is destined to be suffused forever with her jealous melancholy. Certainly, the brutal destruction of a sophisticated civilization paved the way for the dahlia’s introduction to the West. Oh, the troubles it’s seen!”
- Exert from Strangers in the Garden: The Secret Lives of Our Favorite Flowers by Andrew Smith.(If you love a good read, do get the book. It’s fascinating)
In the language of flowers, they represent love and romance.
This one is colored blush pink and whipped cream.
