And here comes Dahlia in Red...

From the technical viewpoint not a perfect bloom while the wind was tugging at the petals or some insects thought this to be a nice little meal but nevertheless a radiant flower...


and look - there are flowers within the flower...


"Dahlia" (Asteraceae)
Dahlien

Thanks to Elle this is NOT a Dahlia but "Zinnia" - belongs to the same family
