Hi all, I used to buy bulbs off catalogs of bulb companies which sold a wide range of plants (obviously buying in from other growers some of their range?), Though after talking to a dahlia grower who showed his flowers & often won at most show. Decided to buy a selection (his recommendations) for my area?

I am very happy with the selection, all terrific blooms, which last well as cut flowers and great colors;

This next flower looks brown from a distance though is an unusual purple yellow brown?:

Next flower is Edinburgh;

Next flower is called Formby Alpine, choice;

Next flower is called Formby Art, choice;

This white is almost 8inch in dia.,. very choice; Kenora Jubillee

Another choicer variety; Kenora Sunset, Red on yellow

Thie next dahlia; Mrs A. Woods, Has terrific form & good color

Cheers allan
