Some images taken in the garden of show dahlia grower

Hi all, after posting some images taken in my garden today decided to visit the garden of a local dahlia grower who regularly show his flowers. Unfortunately most of the prize blooms were already cut & on show some 100miles from where this garden is (as there was a show on today). I took quite a few images though only have 11 images in this gallery, will post some more of the images in the next couple of days when time permits?

The first image is of a seedling flowering for the first time, not good enough for showing though pretty.

the remaining images are in a picasa web gallery, click on the following link;

Hi Steve & all, Thank you all for the compliments on past images, Steve your correct, the ones I grow were suggested by this grower as being beautiful flowers even suitable for showing. The reason for posting these images was just to add a bit of color to some of you who are still in winter. Our season will soon finish in May then it will be your season.
Am not into competition showing of flowers, though just love the variations in form & color. The more plants one has, it appears the more problems one gets ie some of these images show powder mildew on the foliage (extreme humidity, heat & overcrowding is possibly the reason for this fungus?).
I just enjoy learning how to grow plants & putting images on the web is also a learning curve interns of web site linking?
Have added 13 more images from my visit yesterday to this garden, to this same gallery

the following image is another seedling again not show quality, though the start of the new images in this gallery;
