One of a number of shots taken on a recent walk around the Homestead Park in York. It was a pleasant afternoon with a slight breeze, and the park wasn't too busy so there were plenty of benches to sit on during my wander.
I don't think I have seen one of these flowers before, but I did think it was attractive. The online plant identifier that I use says it is a variety of dahlia, but I prefer to call it a 'windmill flower', it seems to fit well.
Great shot of this pretty flower. Fav.
Sorry, the rain did n`t came to us. Expecting an other week of dry weather. Gladly we have store some water in the past.
Thank you all for your lovely comments and favs, they are very much appreciated.
Sorry for the later than usual response, we have been on a Moorsbus trip today and haven't been home very long.
I'm pleased so many of you liked my suggestion of naming this flower 'windmill flower'. I wonder if I should start a campaign to have the flower oficially renamed?
I love the colours

Thank you Vesna, I thought my name for it suited it!
