| I am a visitor from the Hosta Forum. I've loved looking at all your pictures and getting ideas for next year. We are just adding an area to the garden that I think will be a much better place for me to grow dahlias. I've grown Dahlias for many years and shared them with friends. Last winter I lost all but 3. For the first time it was much too cold in the storage area though it had been fine in previous years. I'm hoping to get some plants back next year. Two in particular are a very stricking red and "Chilsons Pride" which was always one of my favourites. The only one of the ones below I know the name of is Lemon Merangue (one I did manage to save). A few of the others are gifts from a friend and I may have the name at the bottom of the plant somewhere. Tagging a plant and having the tag survive over the winter has always been a challange for me. Anyway, I hope you enjoy my pictures as much as I've enjoyed yours. McT

| Like your Caddyshack reference. Looks nice to me. I love the LC there. The white/violet one looks like Ferncliff Ilusion |

| Nice flowers. Lemon Meringue is such a sunny yellow. I wonder if your white one with slightly split tips couldn't be Gitts Attention- a 4-6" informal decorative.
The pink/yellow laciniated one I wonder about Nenekazi, linked below, but not sure that fits. It could be a faded version, or an entirely different dahlia. They're all pretty! If you dig your tubers up for winter, try a No Blot Ink in a Pencil to write right on the damp tubers. They work very well. Sharpies work on dry skinned tubers. |
