Dahlia Pinnata

My photography today is about the Dahlia Pinnata . The growing plant is very frost-tender, though the tubers are somewhat hardier tolerating temperatures down to about -5°C. Root - cooked and used as a vegetable. A sweet extract of the tuber, called 'dacopa', is used as a beverage or as a flavouring. It is mixed with hot or cold water and sprinkled on ice cream. Its naturally sweet mellow taste is said to combine the characteristics of coffee, tea and chocolate. This plant was in the park near my house and this was very beautiful and the green colour was shining in the Sun shade. I took the opportunity and took the photos. Which i am going to share with my friends. I wish that you'll be happy after seeing this.
