Hi All,
I bought a bunch of flowers on the way home today, with a view to doing a bit of macro or close-up work on them. I can identify all but one of the blooms in the bunch.
I wonder if there are a few flower experts out there who might know the name of this flower? Each flower head is about 2 inches across.
Any help would be appreciated.
Many thanks.

Flower I.D.
I'm not expert but we have a bunch of these growing in our back yrad, here in Pregon. We call them Dahlia's. To be really specific, your's is a "Bristol Stripe" variety/color of Dahlia. If you are inter4ested, there is a lot of information on the web at /www.paradisegarden.com on these.

Might be Mums or Batchlors Buttons, not sure but they look familar. My grandmother was a flower person and had all sorts of flowers around her home when I was growing up.
BTW George, your image is exceedingly large but beautiful!

Hi Ken,
Sorry about the large image, but I wanted to make it big enough for viewrs to see the details. I thought the image limit in the forum was 150KB. If I'm mistaken, I apollogise. I'd better read the rules again.
Anyway, I've heard from another source that the flower is a "Spray Chrysanthemum", but it would be difficult to ID the exact variety. Is that what your mean when you say "Mums".
I too like the close up of this flower. I might print this out large scale.
Thanks for the info. Bye for now.

Hi George
It maybe a "Spray Chrysanthemum", I am not sure nor am I even quaintly familar with flowers. I just remember my grandmother fussing over hers. She really loved them.
I was not referring to the image file size but the demensions of the image, 640 pixels max. on either side. It is a lovely photograph however and would make a nice print.

No problem George, we all "goof-up" every now and then.
