As winter approaches, I wanted to share this beautiful dahlia from last week and this rich info from about this incredible plant!
❤️🧡💛💚💙💜❤️🧡💛💚💙💜"Dahlias were first called or (meaning “Water Stem”) before being named after Swedish Botanist Andreas Dahl in the late 18th century, 200 years after their arrival in Spain. I’ve only seen records written in past tense of Aztec people using Acocotli “roots” for food and medicine - I’d love to learn of this tradition being carried on or revived. This is the national flower of Mexico. Aztecs grew them in their gardens and used them from the wild as well. There are 35 species in the genus, all native to the highlands in what is now Mexico, Guatemala, and northern South America. Spanish conquistadors, while conquering, suppressing, and murdering people and society, collected three of these species (Dahlia pinnata, D. rosea, and D. coccinea) and sent them to Spain. They attempted to work on the plants as food crops, but the Europeans weren’t especially interested until the plants hybridized and eventually made double flowers (the middle right and bottom right in this first photo are single flowers). I have to admit, I’ve been bitten by the dahlia bug and I too am breeding for new hybrid varieties, and learning as I go. This plant is unusual in that it has 64 chromosomes - 4 times that of most plants - so its genetic variability is incredible.
That said, I’m also honoring the original uses of the plant and looking for tasty tubers as I store the plants each winter. Better tasting varieties are similar to celery, water chestnuts, and perhaps ginger."
