Description

"Blue Dahlia" was taken while visiting the Chicago Botanic Garden in Glencoe, Illinois. I am always looking for flowers to illustrate color, detail, and beautiful lighting.

This is a dahlia which is one of 42 species of dahlia, with hybrids commonly grown as garden plants. Flower forms are variable, with one head per stem; these can be as small as 2 inch in diameter or up to 1 foot. (dinner plate). This great variety results from dahlias being octoploids, that is, they have eight sets of homologous chromosomes, whereas most plants have only two. In addition, dahlias also contain many transposons (genetic pieces that move from place to place upon an allele) which contributes to their manifesting such great diversity.

I hope you have enjoyed this work. You can see more of my artwork on my homepage. Thank you for visiting and please come back so
