Subhash Sharma This lovely bi-colour Dahlia is a spicy flower and its significance ranges from a sign of warning, to change, to travel, to even a portent of betrayal. The varied symbolic meanings of the dahlia makes this flower a wild card. Give to that unique, eclectic person whom you wish to compliment his/her wild side. Combine them with slender flowers like irises or tulips for a striking visual display as well as a combined symbolic message that says "temper your adventures with a kind heart."
