Description
This photograph of dahlia was taken while visiting a local greenhouse this spring.
Dahlia is a genus of bushy, tuberous, herbaceous perennial plants native to Mexico. There are 42 species of dahlia, with hybrids commonly grown as garden plants. Flower forms are variable, with one head per stem; these can be as small as 2 inch in diameter or up to 1 foot. (dinner plate). This great variety results from dahlias being octoploidsthat is, they have eight sets of homologous chromosomes, whereas most plants have only two. In addition, dahlias also contain many transposonsgenetic pieces that move from place to place upon an allelewhich contributes to their manifesting such great diversity.
The stems are leafy, ranging in height from as low as 12 inches to more than 68 feet. The majority of species do not produce scented flowers or cultivars. Like most plants that do not attract pollinating insects through scent, they are brightly colored, displaying most hues, with the exception of blue.
