| I got mine and am really enjoying it. The pics are awesome. I ordered from them 2 yrs ago and was very happy with the tubers and flowers that bloomed from them. Very healthy all of them.
So, Here is what I was going to order. Please let me know if you have any comments, good or bad on these. I've only ordered dahlias one time and don't have much experience. If you can suggest an alternate dahlia that grows better or is as good and less money, i'm open to suggestions.
Gitts Perfection A pink/white
Envy AA (ID) Red
Center Court B White
Bedford Bush B (fd) White/lavender
I'm a hottie B (id) hot pink
Bride to be BB (WL) white
Seduction BB (fd) Lavender/purple
koppertone BB (WL) copper/bronze/orange
Rawhide -- wow, it's in the pics on page 59 - 3rd place photo front bloom - waterlily -- but very expensive (it is really out of my budget) i think it's 14.95
I really love the water lily types.

Hi, I just got my catalog yesterday and haven't had much time to look at it yet. I do have a few on your list: Seduction, Envy and I'm a Hottie. They are all really beautiful and I'm a Hottie is one of my favorites.Rawhide is really pretty too but I think I will wait until next year to get that one because I have noticed that the prices on their new introductions go down quite a bit the third year they are out. This is the second year that one has been available.

| Hi Linda. Thanks for responding. I'm definitely going to wait on Rawhide, I just can't spend that much money. Let's see how much it is next year. |

| My wife spent around $400 at Swan Island last year and my catalogue hasn't come yet. May be they feel we have enough. LOL |

I got mine today also. Boy they must be watching this list.
But now the wife has the cataloge and I have not seen it since. I wonder if Swan Island can do any thing about that? |

| Gitts Perfection is a gorgeous flower. It is a late bloomer, however, and you would benefit from potting it up early and planting out after it has some growth on it. Teresa |

| I will add my praise to Gitt's Perfection. Most of my neighbors pointed that flower out as ones they liked. The flowers are more pink if you keep them from to much sun. I planted one on one side of the drive way which got mostly morning sun. It was very pink. The one on the other side that got very hot after noon sun was more muted. |

| I ordered all my tubers from them in October! I had a crazy day. I used them last year, the first year I tried dahlias. A third of them didn't grow but I am sure i am to blame for it! I am hoping to do better this year with them I have already received them and I am just waiting to plant! |

| I,ve ordered for several years from Swan Island with very good luck.the one on your list called Seduction is a gorgeous bloom! I am sure you will like it. |
