Dahlia: 4% Lance staffer: “It looks nice whenever I put them in my room, they smell nice, and they make good gifts to give to friends.” My take: Just WOW. The details on most dahlia flowers are to die for. Seriously. This gorgeous light pink and many different petals add for a good pop of color in a bouquet.
