Dahlias are stout and rather woody plants, some species reaching the stature of small trees, with late-blooming flowers in a wide range of colors and sizes.
Although dahlias are officially classed in 14 groups based on flower shape, for gardening purposes they can be separated into 2 types: those of medium to tall height with long-stemmed blossoms used for cutting, and the dwarf types used for bedding.
Dahlias are used as food plants by the larvae of some Lepidoptera species including Angle Shades, Common Swift, Ghost Moth and Large Yellow Underwing.
Joining the mysterious BlagDahlia for Sunday's much-anticipated Ottawa show will be such pseudonymous bandmates as Tazzie Bushweed, Toss, Clint Torres and The Fresh Prince of Darkness.
Blag reckons Sympathy For The Record Industry, the brave outfit set to release a new Dwarves album this year, is the band's "fifth or sixth" label.
A tad jaded, Blag is. But neither he nor the band's music has slowed down with advancing age.
