Dahlia.

I've been meaning to upload this photo to here. What do you think? I used actions on it to give it the cool feel.

Some interesting facts from Wikipedia about this beautiful flower:

1. The dahlia is named after the Swedish 18th-century botanist Anders Dahl.

2. There are at least 36 species of Dahlia.

3. Dahlia plants range in height from as low as 12" to as tall as 6'8''. The flowers can be as small as 2" in diameter or up to a foot, called a "dinner plate".
