  2. I'm afraid I can't help with identification either as I am hopeless with flower names but I can say that this is a gorgeous photo. The subtle range of pale pinks with touches of yellow are amazing. And the lovely radiating pattern of overlapping petals. I can certainly understand why you "had" to capture this.

  3. oo such a soft creamy pink! It def looks like one,Dahlia's do have a large range of colours & even petal shapes. My dream is to have our home surrounded in flowers!!!!!!!!!!

  4. Yes it' a Dahlia! I love them. They are real granny flowers in my mind. People used to plant a row at the front of their property, all the colours of a rainbow!! They grow from a tuber.
