Why are you reporting this puzzle?

The dahlia's great variety in flower form and color results from the crossing of primarily two species. All dahlias are native to Mexico. In 1789, botanical explorers collected native dahlia species that had 1- to 2-inch flowers, a single set of petals and a central disk. The overall effect was similar to common sunflowers. Grown together, these native species naturally hybridized and produced flowers with many more ray flowers and colors. By the late 1800s, intensive breeding had developed most of the various flower forms and colors. Currently, there are nearly 2,000 named varieties in the world.

Oh dear, no I confess, I haven't done any for you and Dize. How slack of me. No big puzzles for two weeks! I promise I'll have one for you this next weekend! I tend to forget. Hugs.

I'll have to get cross with you Janet, my dear --no big puzzles for two weeks (unless I missed them).

Hi Leni, just got back to do my little puzzle. Fabulous colours and variety. I did my Art Gallery duty yesterday and it was too long to have my leg down, so I just skimmed through last night. OK today! Thanks and hugs, Sis, Janet.
Yes Dize's Dahlias were fabulous.

lenird

I'm glad you enjoyed it :)

A very pretty pic. Just love dahlias.

What a shame dize! They really are quite stunning in a big group.I'm not overly fond of the pompom dahlias though - how about you?

This is beautiful, Leni. At a previous house, I had a wall of dahlias right along my fence-line, but when I shifted and brought some with me, they didn't like it there, and didn't thrive. x x

Oh yes I did -- you can't point me in the direction of a beautiful puzzle and expect me to just look!

RandomWorship

Oh, you didn't need to do the puzzle, Leni! I just wanted to show you how beautifully the 'mum kaleidos could come out. I'm glad you like the suggestion, and can't wait to see yours! (•‿•)

lenird

So glad you are healing nicely Janet -- I'll nip over your way to read all the comments and catch up on your news :)
