11. Dinner Plate Dahlia

Dinner Plate Dahlia is one of the most requested and attractive flowers. They will reach their peak at mid-summer and last until the first frost. At that time, almost all other flowers are past their prime. 

The heads on this flower can grow to 1 foot in diameter, which attracts people walking by. Now, there is no Blue Dahlia. Breeders are still trying to find a way to create blue for this flower.
