Sandy: It has some characteristics of a dahlia variant but I'm not certain. I'll try some more of my ID books. How big is the bloom and do you know its indigenous range?

Bill, it's about 4 inches across and was in a bouquet.
Nathan Buck also thought it was a type of dahlia, so I bet you're both right.
I've never seen simple, single petals like this in a dahlia, but I know there are a million varieties.
Thanks!
Sandy
