According to my phone this is a dahlia but I don't think that can be right

Yes my phone corroborates, looks like dahlias come in different quite varied varieties - very pretty in the sunlight

Maybe a kind of dahlia? I'm no expert, but it's a lovely shot.

Dahlia australis is what Google brought up. Seems a bit appropriate especially since I don't know what "australis" translated into English is. A pretty and delicate flower.

@randystreat Australis is Latin meaning southern or south as in geographical distribution so maybe its an Australian version
