    • The dahlias are very beautiful and beautiful is to see them blooming in the Philippines with all his splendour. The history is very nice, nice are all the things that are born of the heart. A hug, dear Mary Ann. Take a care, please!

    • Hello my friend! Quite the beautiful album! Did you know that the Dahlia is my favorite flower? A long time ago i had puchased a Dahlia From some place & was in a taxi with a friend who was in a hurry & she broke it's 'neck' closing the trunk-well, I sat in my house & wept as if someone had died! Yes, that's a beautiful love story & true too, I think. It has touched me very much & I hope it touches many more! Love, Rita.

    • There is a sweet story from the 18th century concerning love & dahlias: Sir Godfrey Webster was living in Florence with his wife when young Lord Holland came to town. Lady Webster took off with Lord Holland & in 1796 their first son was born. A year later old Sir Godfrey divorced her and she & Lord Holland were able to marry. The love affair between the lad of 20 and the girl of 23 blossomed into a long & happy marriage. And after they had been together some 20 years he wrote for her a little poem. Between 1800 and 1805 the Hollands lived in France and in Spain where Lady Holland first saw dahlias that had reached Spain about 15 years before. She sent some home and it is on the strength of that shipment that she is given credit for the introduction of the dahlia into England. ~~~ Taken from http://www.sfheart.com/dahlia.html
