Bloomed: Dahlia
Considered one of the most spectacular garden flowers, dahlias consist of numerous delicate petals that encircle a central yellow core known as the capitulum or floral head. Native to Mexico, where they have been grown for centuries, dahlias are found in various shades of white, yellow, orange, red, pink and purple.
Drawing on memories of childhood, the fun-loving dahlia seeks to entertain viewers with its spinning flower, generating nostalgic memories of pinwheels, fairgrounds and celebration. The flower can be found to be swaying as if caught in a gentle breeze, whilst at other times, it can be seen to be oscillating, as if giggling with laughter.
