My wife has a bunch of flowers that I like and would like
to grow some but do not know what they are.
Can someone please identify them .

Also any other info, easy or hard to grow, seeds available ?? etc

I know very little about flowers.

To my inexperienced and untrained eye, they look like Dahlias?

Well I am much more inexperienced and untrained and I have lost my
specs somewhere but I agree, however I must say I am not familiar with
the variety.You will be pleased to know you could hardly find anything
easier to grow from seed or tubers.

Suggest you start with tubers - always a good selection at garden
centres or B&Q and such like. They even thrive in poor soil.

Clever clogs, correct; but I have not seen colouring like that before,
I like it.

I have a number of different varieties here. Unlike all my
neighbours, I planted them very deeply, on a bed of sand, tuber and
then soil. I never lift them and they survive!!!!! Mind you, not a
shoot is showing yet but we had a vicious winter.

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.
