I believe this is a cactus or semi-cactus type. I didn't catch her name :)
Dahlias are the native flower of Mexico and were originally called Acoctli.
The name Dahlia was after a Swedish 18th-century botanist Anders Dahl.
At that time they were valued as a vegetable but interest switched from the tubers to the flowers after the first double blooms were bred in 1815.
Thank you for viewing and for any comments :)

So very beautiful Lyn and a very interesting narrative - I did not know this about dahlias and I've been to several dahlia shows.

Long before the white man and long before the wheel, when the dark green forests were too silent to be real. Lightfoot 1967
The bokeh smoothly blends into the dark background, giving this image a dreamy appearance. Perfectly done, Lyn! Great one, my friend!
