Had a great time today with Cathy and Gary, wandering around Harry P.
Leu Botanical Garden. It was kind of hit and miss with camellia blooms,
but there were a lot more roses blooming than I had expected. Even saw a
plant I'd never seen before--a tree dahlia [D. imperialis]. Kind of a
scruffy looking small tree, but very nice pink dahlia blooms. I've no
idea what its USDA zone range is, but will try to find out before I post
a picture.

It's an annual, like all Dahlia species and hybrids. But most of the time
in temperate zones it gets cut down by frost before flowering. Likely you'd
only see it flower in zones 9 and above.
