| I got a box of dahlia tubers from my sister-in-law which grew 6' high and had huge, shocking pink blooms (8-12"), just amazing.
I know nothing about dahlias. So when the time came to dig up and divide I followed pictureless instructions and managed to not keep ANY of the 'neck' of the tubers, hence no eyes. I want to replace the dahlias I destroyed because they were such a lovely gift and I don't want my sister-in-law to be upset. |

| Don't feel too bad. If you don't know what you're trying to cut, it's very tempting to just cut off the neck of the tubers. At first glance, in a pink dahlia that size, Otto's Thrill came to mind. It's fairly common in the big box stores. The link below is a bad photo, but see what you think. When I grew it, it had a very pale bit of yellow in the centers not visible in this photo.

| I don't think it was Otto's Thrill, because the flowers were a really deep shocking pink, only white/yellow at the center of the bloom and the base of the petals. I'd post another image if I could figure out how to. |

| Go to the "Kenora Superb" thread just below here in the gallery, and read about posting photos. Maybe one of those methods will work for you. |
