Blush Pink Star Dahlia

The Star Dahlia is the dahlia that looked at all the other dahlias and decided that geometry was the answer. Clean lines, precise points, each petal arriving exactly where it was supposed to arrive without any of the loose generosity of the dinner plate or the pompon. Blush Pink in Japan is not the blush pink of a greeting card. It is the blush pink of a cherry blossom on the third day, when the peak has passed and what remains is quieter and considerably more interesting than what everyone came to photograph.
