Mexico's national flower is the dahlia, including all its 30 sub-species and over 20,000 varieties. The genus was first described by European botanists in 1570. The earliest species described were the Dahlia pinnata and Dahlia imperialis; it has been genetically traced to central Mexico, to a borough in present-day Mexico City known as Milpa Alta.

It was declared Mexico's national flower on May 13, 1963 by presidential decree.
