Nursery contributed plant descriptions

This is the world's oldest surviving garden dahlia. (Do you need to know more?) With fresh green foliage and hundreds of small, ivory globes - each touched in the center with a bit of honey, or sunshine? - it has all the pristine, elemental beauty of a newborn baby. Preserved by a German nursery that has specialized in dahlias for close to a century, it's a timeless classic.
