Title: dahlias wanted
Post by: robsorchids on March 22, 2008, 09:35:32 PM

im trying to get some nice varietys together as im entering the local show this year and i find it alot of fun to do,

any of the dinner plates would be fantastic, or any unusual varietys but im not fussy as they are all great.

a nice stong red, would be appreciated

im very much looking for thr tree dahlia imperialis, but i havent been able to find this superb plant!

thanks
rob

Rob, lord knows we are a broad church here, but asking for DAHLIAS! A step too far, I think!  Most of us aren't growing Dahlias!

Well, it is a fact  that some of our most distinguished growers are, or were, national Dahlia judges, but , in the immortal words of someone: enough already!
