Delightful Dahlias

One of the season’s later blooming flowers the sturdy dahlia originated with the Aztecs and infiltrates energy from those lifetimes when sending a message. Dahlia awakens a true sense of self-worth, dignity and inner nobility. Within it's message the Dahlia reminds one to release psychic “pettiness” and false ego|pride so the true soul essence may bloom within one’s life.
