Despite its British-sounding name and its place in the Botanic Garden's English Walled Garden, this variety of dahlia is a native of the high plains of Mexico and Central America. The Spanish brought it to Europe in 1784 and cultivated it in the Royal Gardens of Madrid. I photographed it in the early-morning sun, whose low light sculpted the petals against deep shadows.
