Sayote's flower (Philippines)

Probably its flower is not as interesting and beautiful as its fruit is, but it is worth watching it. Its name is Sayote (a Filipino native word I guess...). I founded it on my way to the Chocolate Hills, in Bohol Island, Philippines.

Please, if some of you think I'm wrong about the name of the flower in the photograph, just make it notice in a comment and I'll try to correct the name as soon as possible. I love to photograph flowers but I'm absolutely ignorant about their names. Thanks.

Dahlias: Flowers, flowers, with a wonderful red velvet color in Harbin, China.

After a long long period of time I'm back with some very nice pics of wonderful flowers I found nearby an early 20th Century Turkish mosque in Harbin, Northeast China.

I was very surprised when I saw for first time that red velvet color, amazing!

If someone knows the name of these flowers I'll be very pleased to let me know it.

Thanks to my blog-friend Tomoe I could know the name of this flower: Dahlia!
