Violet Blue Cornel Dahlia
A 31st anniversary gift is trickier than it sounds — thirty years past a candle-and-cake situation, thirty years into knowing exactly what your person does not need more of, which the Violet Blue Cornel Dahlia solves by simply not being a candle. Cornel is a name that belongs to somebody's grandfather, the kind of man who fixed the porch step without mentioning it and never explained his method to anyone. Violet Blue is the color of a bruise on an unusually good day, a shade that should not work and does. The dahlia carries both of these — the quiet competence, the improbable color — with the confidence of a trait that skips a generation and then shows up, fully formed, in the person nobody expected. Every petal is shaped by hand at Chive Ceramics Studio, so no two Cornels ever match exactly. Chicago Botanic Garden has carried this collection in its own shop for years, company the Cornel accepts without comment.
