[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Dahlia is a genus of bushy, tuberous, perennial plants native to Mexico, Central America, and Colombia. There are at least 36 species of dahlia. Dahlia hybrids are commonly grown as garden plants. The Aztecs gathered and cultivated the dahlia for food, ceremony, as well as decorative purposes, and the long woody stem of one variety was used for small pipes.

Scientific Classification:-
Kingdom: Plantae
Order: Asterales
Family: Asteraceae
Genus: Dahlia

Dahlia plants range in height from as low as 12" (30 cm) to as tall as 6-8 feet (180-240 cm). The flowers can be as small as 2" (5 cm) in diameter or up to a foot (30 cm) "dinner plate". The great variety results from dahlias being octoploids (they have eight sets of homologous chromosomes, whereas most plants have only two).
Dahlias are used as food plants by the larvae of some Lepidoptera species including Angle Shades, Common Swift, Ghost Moth and Large Yellow Underwing.
The dahlia is named after Swedish 18th-century botanist Anders Dahl. In German the dahlia was known during most of the 19th century as Georgia, being named after the naturalist Johann Gottlieb Georgi of St. Petersburg, Russia.

hello sanjib,
i view this with envy as the dahlias i planted early spring all rotted because we had too much rain. the reds and whites are such good color combination, the hint of other colors is nice. your composition highlights the intricate design of the flower. best regards...

Hi Sanjib

Superb colour contrasts between the red & white in this splendid floral macro. Good use of a shallow dof with excellent sharpness. Tfs!

dear Sanjib,
a graceful and impressive picture of vivid colored dahlia flower,
the red is very vivid, contrasted other white portion of petals.
like a red ink running and spreading from center of flower to peripheral portion.
thank you for your excellent shot,
Akihisa
