Shooting straight into my top 10, I fell on this chance seedling of Dahlia ‘Molly Raven’ with beautiful colouring and semi-double flowers, perfect for picking and for the pollinators. I love it so much Ive named it after my friend and colleague Jonathan Buckley, whos been photographing dahlias with me now for 30 years.

All dahlia flowers are edible, scatter their petals on salads for flavour, texture and colour.
