| I lifted seven dahlia tubers this evening for storage, about half my total. Remember when I said I don't split? Yeah, apparently it was a really good year, because those seven now-huge bunches of tubers fell apart into 14 medium sized bunches of tubers, still with 5 or 6 enormous, healthy tubers per bunch. Or more. So I'll be finding adoptive parents for the splits since I really don't have room in the plan for more than 12 or so dahlia in the garden. That will be easy; my mom wants some. :) |

| I'll remember, but I don't think I'll have spares. Mom fell in love with my Color Spectacle and Sun Lady and wants a set. Her friend wants some as well. But if there are any left... |

| I have Blue Wish and Sky Angel for postage if you are interested, eterprincess. |
|

| It may be a bit early to be requesting spares, as they have to be overwintered successively before anything else. The best time to be asking is in May, when the grower knows how many he/she will be planting, and has a good idea how many extra sprouting tubers can be sold, traded or gifted. Though this may sound harsh, I say this through experience and to assist... Growers who are offered a similar-valued plant/root in trade are much more likely to send dahlia tubers either for postage or for trade to those folk then random requests for freebies from folks they don't know. |

| I have not been back to this post for awhile so I cannot respond to the interest. I have alot of Blue Wish that I can give now. It is getting a bit too cold to be sending them but if you live in the south, I am happy to send them to anyone for postage NOW. Please email me directly via GW if anyone is interested in Blue Wish dahlias. I may not have any next spring because I do not store bulbs well. And I cannot guarantee that they will not be frozen while in transit. |
