| I wanted to try the SC and LC types this year but still end up getting a few formal decoratives. Glad I did. Camano Bram was 8 inches across and turned out to be a beauty. Camano Sitka has a reliable good form too.

| I love those colors: great in summer and wonderful in fall. Chimacum Topaz was one of the first dahlias I grew in back in 94 and it's still one of my favorites in those yellow/bronze tones. Glad they turned out so nice for you. |

| I DO remember your Chimacum Topaz. You said it's always been a reliable grower for you. I'm starting to lean towards getting the "good growers" instead of the "ooh, that looks cool, I want that one even if it's $13 for one tuber". My Trelyn Rhiannon is about 1 foot tall. I've started it since late April. When it finally blooms, think I will wet my pants. |

| LOL! That is the funniest line I've read about dahlias in a long time, if not ever! Thanks for the chuckle, and I know how you feel: I have a couple 2 inch tall plants I fully expect to produce a dahlia yet this year. What a dreamer. Chimacum Topaz IS one of the most reliable, hearty bloomers I've ever had. One year I had 15 plants of it, and plants begat more plants..... This year, I have Chimacum Troy and I'm hoping the hybridizers have created another Chimacum wonder in purple. |
