Dahlia ‘Sir Alf Ramsey’ is a lovely example of this species with its large, decorative double flowers. From a yellow interior a multitude of delicate heart-shaped/stripy pink and white petals emerge. This particular specimen had been blown by the wind to produce a dishevelled, yet attractive look. I added a background texture in Adobe Photoshop, which complements the lovely tones of this flower.
