"DAHLIA" is the last studio album of the infamous X Japan, the essential founders of J-Rock and visual kei, released only a year before their dissolution in late '97.
Any comparison made to earlier albums will find "DAHLIA" fills in the minute cracks trembling through the resonance of X Japan's awesome reign--"Vanishing Vision", their first (and overtly offensive) release, is heavy with morbid verse and violent ambition.
Yet while there are a handful of Yoshiki's signature metal-esque epics to be found, this disc is not overweight with such perfection, having balanced itself effortlessly through the artistic placement of dynamic and unforgettale ballads--the caliber of which only X Japan could craft.

  Planting, Growing and Caring for Dahlias
Dahlias should not be planted until all danger of frost has passed, and the soil temperature reaches 58-60 degrees F. Excessively wet soil may cause the tubers to rot, so if your weather has been wet and stormy, you may want to wait for a drying trend.
A Dahlia in bloom is a heavy feeder, so you may want to consider using a water soluble "bloom type" fertilizer about a month before the plants begin to bloom.
Dahlias which have been started in pots may be planted in the prepared hole following the same procedures you would for any other perennial plant.
