There used to be member named Plantlady2, who posted these out of this world pictures of her dahlias (especially the one of Moonlight Sonata). Anyone remember that one? Anyways, I was wondering if anybody noticed those red wire thingies she used along each row of plants to help hold them up and not let them get too floppy, I think?. Does anybody know what those are exactly and where they can be found?

Linht, here's the thread. In the Sunday Nov. 6th post by plantlady will be a link to photos. As I recall, they have short crossbars welded onto standard t-fence posts. Christmas tree twine is strung through pre-drilled holes in those cross bars. I was priveleged to see them and so many beautiful flowers in person at Wynne's this summer.

Should have ordered Moonlight Sonata! Maybe next year.

By the way, you can just put a poster's name in the SEARCH box above and up will come all the posts they've made at various forums. Very handy to try and find past information by a known poster.

Here is a link that might be useful: Link to Plantlady2's support system
