Dahlia
The meaning of the dahlia
A bond that lasts, even as the days grow shorter.
Dahlias bloom from summer until the first frost, when many other flowers have gone. That's why they stand for a bond that lasts, even as the days grow shorter. They come from Mexico, where they are the national flower.
