Dahlia

A dahlia in fresh, bright bloom often touches good fortune and quiet thriving — a flower of cultivated abundance. The dream may ask where prosperity is opening for you, what careful tending has brought something to flower, and whether you're ready to receive the steady good luck that such full, ordered blooming suggests.
