Description
Right outside my dining room casement windows, this blossom along with a dozen sisters, faces directly east into the morning sun. It's 9:50 AM, and it is already 78 f. Stunning at the face, to me they are just as photo worthy from the posterior. Hey, and I spelled the title word correctly on first go! :)

Dahlias are late-season bloomers. They bloom from mid-summer through the first frost and are available in a vast array of colors, patterns, sizes, and flower forms. Plant size ranges from compact border varieties to species that have plate-sized blossoms atop 6-foot plants. Despite this diversity, most dahlias grow on long, erect stems that give the blooms room to show off. Native to Mexico and Central America, dahlias boast over 20,000 cultivars and 30 species and are the prized darlings of plant breeders and florists alike.

Very nice work. No dahlia songs come to mind, but the rhyme reminds me of "Me life's been a failure, I'm going to Australia" in an old song by Daevid Allen, from the Bananmoon album I think. :-)
