Some weeks back, I said I thought a mysterious plant in my garden,
growing alongside my dahlias, looked like them to such an extent - and
yet not like them - that I thought it might just be a virused dahlia.
Now, having observed the plant closely since, I have come to the
conclusion that my theory is pretty daft: the plant looks increasingly
less like a diseased dahlia, and more and more like an obscenely
healthy something else.
Have I been lovingly nurturing a common garden weed?
Can anyone identify the beast?

Mugwort, _Artemisia vulgaris_

The photos were taken some weeks ago.
