Dahlias!

For our first blog entry, we are featuring the dahlia, a wonderful, wildly colorful flower that will be available at Robin Wood Flowers throughout the summer.

The Aztecs gathered and cultivated dahlias for food, ceremony, decoration ... and the long woody stem of one variety was used for small pipes. These colorful blooms can be as small as 2" in diameter - up to the size of 12 " dinner plates.
