Dahlia is a genus of bushy, tuberous, herbaceous perennial plants native to Mexico and Central America. Due to Dahlias' genetic makeup, it is easy to create new cultivars, making them popular among gardeners worldwide. Today there are some 42 distinct Dahlia species and 65,000 registered cultivars in a vast range of shapes, sizes and colours.

Australian enthusiasts and plant breeders have created many popular and commercially successful Dahlia cultivars. This issue features three Australian-bred cultivars: Bracken Palomino (bred by Neville Naumann, Queensland), Nayap (bred by Bill Johnson, Victoria), and Wangolina Semillon (bred by Anita Goode, South Australia).
