Striking Lavender-lilac Waterlily Dahlia Flowers Stock Photography

Grown for their beautiful flowers Dahlias are herbaceous perennial plants and come in all colors except the elusive blue. There are 30 species and over 20 000 cultivars of dahlias categorized based on size flower pattern and how they resemble other flowers. Waterlily Dahlias have fully double blooms characterized by broad and generally sparse ray florets which are straight or slightly involute along their length giving the flower a shallow appearance. They do resemble waterlily flowers and make excellent cut flowers.
