The dahlia in the buttonhole

The silk dahlia is a classic buttonhole flower for an elegant appearance. The lush flower and the beautiful color gradient (magenta / white) are real eye-catchers. Why not visit one of the numerous annual dahlia festivals or a dahlia breeding show: for example the dahlia garden in Gera or in autumn the dahlia show in Lindau on Lake Constance. Then you already have the perfect accessory.

The manufacture of the boutonnière

In every flower there is an almost forgotten craftsmanship (absolutely not to be compared with products from Far Eastern countries). Plastic is not used here; every boutonnière is built up and not simply put together or glued on. Recipes up to a hundred years old serve as the basis for dyeing the fabric.
