Hello

I took a couple of pics of this rather exquisite little orange flower at
Waterperry Gardens near Oxford yesterday:

My mum thinks it's a Chrysathemum, but does it have a particular name or are
there too many chrysanthemums to bother giving individual names to?

Thanks

Ahhh, excellent. Found them now - more specifically called Ball Dahlias:

http://www.dahliaworld.co.uk/dahlia.htm They all have different names as do
Chrysanths. you would need to ask the grower to be sure which one it is

Dahlia, probably Minature Ball could well be Jomanda.

PomPon Dahlias in the UK have flowers 2inches or less in Diameter.
In Europe they also include min ball and Min decorative dahlias under
the heading of PomPon.

Thanks, that's a useful link. I think it could be a few different types:

http://www.dahlia.org/cgi-bin/guide/...+JOHN+GRAINGER

I'll email the grower.

I said Jomanda because it's readily available, Dr John granger is only
available from the National collection, and Lismore Robin is fairly
new and is only available from 3 growers.
Have you thought of asking Waterperry gardens where you saw the
flower?

Well, they did finally reply and it is a pompom Dahlia, variety "Bantling".
A quick Google search reveals at least one stockist who will have some
available in January :-)

Thanks, that's a good little page. They seem to be popular in Germany &
Holland! There's a supplier in Manchester though :-)
