Dahlia is a genus of bushy, tuberous, herbaceous perennial
plants native mainly in Mexico, but also Central America, and Colombia. The
stems are leafy, ranging in height from as low as 12 in to more than
6–8 ft. The majority of species do not produce scented flowers or cultivars.
Like most plants that do not attract pollinating insects through scent, they
are brightly colored, displaying most hues, with the exception of blue. Source

Eustoma, a genus of three species in the family Gentianaceae, grows natively in warm regions of the Southern United States, Mexico, Caribbean and northern South America. Examples grow mostly in grassland and in areas of disturbed ground. These flowers are commonly known as Lisianthus flowers. They are herbaceous annuals, growing to 15 to 60 cm tall, with bluish green, slightly succulent leaves and large funnel-shaped flowers growing on long straight stems: sometimes erect single stems, other times growing on branching stems that can rise to be three feet tall. The flowers can grow up to two inches across and can be found in a variety of colors. They have been found in all shades of pink, purple, white, and blue. In addition, some are bicolored and some are occasionally found in yellow or carmine-red. Source
