Swan Flower

I was with a friend when I saw this flower and she identified it as a dahlia. I always thought dahlias had short cupped petals, but what do I know.
It reminds me of a swan.

I think you are thinking of zinnias. I used to confuse the two also. The light and detail of this shot make it very elegant, Rose.

massive variety in dahlias, some look like round pom poms, some like daisies and some like this. This is beautiful.
