David Hill is our resident Dahlia expert on urg and runs a Nursery
specialising in them, so with luck he'll be along to give an ID.

Strangely my first thought when I saw the picture was "Chrysanthemum".

My first reaction, too. My second reaction was that it wasn't a natural
colour, but a dyed plant. Might be wrong, though.

I've sent it on to you, David - don't know if it will work. I hesitate
between chrysanthemum and Dahlia but I tend more towards Dahlia only
because of the coloration and how it's formed.

My first thought also was chrysanths, and ones which had been standing
in red ink.

Oh dear. I sent it this morning so that's not promising. So - I'll do
my best to describe this and maybe others can correct or add. No
leaves are visible which hinders ID of Chrysanth or Dahlia. If it IS a
Dahlia I'd guess it's what's called a medium sized Decorative. I say
this with supreme ignorance. The body of the flower is white or
possibly pale lavender but has a pink/red flush to the petals at the
base which doesn't appear to follow up to the tips or centre.
Unfortunately, the flowers photographed seem to be dying off which may
affect their colour register in the photo and we have no view of the
centre.

Sorry to follow my own post but I've extracted the photo as a jpg. and
sent it to you in email, David. I hope it works!
