    But no idea what it is.. and no flower is the same, it seems, and has similar flowers to Dahlias.

    Cheers!

          I had originally thought Zinnia but if you look at the link photos I put up, the one Kyle is showing is exactly the same at the one three rows down middling of the Salpiglossis and the Zinnia leaves don't look right ... :scratch: I think all his images are the same flower.

          Victoria, this is the pic kyleleonard posted that I have suggested is the Zinnia. It is pink with multiple petals

          I agree with your id of the first few images as Salpiglossis.

          Confusing because we have One pic displayed and three links?

          Had me going for a bit as to where the Zinnia was lurking I must admit.:D

          The other pictures were HUGEEEE. So I posted the links instead of having the thread stretched!

          Thanks for everyone's help!
