Note: In both French and English, dahlias are any of the over 40 different species of the flowering bushy perennial plant originally from Central America and Mexico. Dahlias are a member of the same plant family as daisies, sunflowers, zinnias, and chrysanthemum. Because dahlias are tuberous, they can be a food source. When the Spanish arrived in Mexico in the early 1500's, dahlia tubers were being cultivated and eaten by the Aztecs. Today the dahlia is the Mexican national flower.

Also Note: In the first year of the roaring 20's, Rene Lalique created a series of 11 large plates. Each plate is clear glass with an enameled design, and all are approximately 37 cm diameter. The model numbers run from 700 to 709 with 1 plate lacking a model number, but with model 700 (Trois Figurines) having 3 versions (so really 13 different plates). In 1925 he created 1 more plate without a model number in a style similar to the first 13, but the only example we've seen of that 14th plate is a bit smaller at 32.5 cm. The 10 plates with model numbers are: Trois Figurines, Deux Pigeons, Pommier, Souris, Pivoines, Dahlias, Artichauts, Scarabées, Oeillets-2, and Graines D'Asperges. The other 2 are the Eglantines-2 Plate and the 1925 Deux Paons.
