Dahlia imperialis 'Alba'

This is definitely a first for us-we were surprised when it stayed warm enough for the species to flower- but we never expected the white form to flower as well! Cornwall is always milder than the rest of England, but this is very unusual, as this type of Dahlia hardly ever has chance to flower even in the mild South West. And what an amazing flower!
