The rare Dalhia flower

 This is a rare and a very beautiful dahlia 'war of roses', whose origins have been lost centuries ago. It is unique in appearance. Most Dahlia experts have never heard of it, while for others it's a genetic conundrum that shouldn't really exist. 

This plant has a mesmerizing origin. It is stated to be an originated from France in 1850's. Five brothers and sisters inherited a French Chateau after the death of their wealthy parents died. The siblings were not able to agree on who should occupy it. It thus remained empty,neglected and the once fabulous garden became an unkempt wilderness. Many of the precious ornamental plants became either overgrown or they died due to lack of proper care - except for one. A lone Dahlia which managed to survive and flourish amongst the boarders. Unfortunately the original French name appears to be unknown although it may sometimes be known as Dahlia 'York and Lancaster'. 

It is tough, almost hardy in light soils. Standing approximately 2'6'' tall, it produces large amounts of 3" ball shaped flower heads each petal is curled up. It occassionally throw up a pure white flower which will always be followed by a brilliant white and carmine red bi-colour flower. 

anyone should grab the first specimen they come across with both hands because the word 'rarity' is an understatement.
