more dahlias sry

[botias]

I took a chance on a tiny grower that offers all their varieties for $4 on the strength of one positive review. We'll see what happens. I exchanged chatty emails with the owner who (by his own report) is a retired rodeo bull rider who also breeds cats, horses and pit bull dogs. I hope he comes out of major back surgery alright. (Bull riding: bad for your back. Who knew? Actually, I did. He's not the first professional cowboy I've met with bad back.)



There are some oddballs here.

Color Magic, Fire Magic and Giraffe


Harvey Coop, Maki, Vassio Meggos. Maki is a 'sport' of the Largest Dahlia Ever. I found the L.D.E. a little boring apart from its size, but this variegated version seems worth a try. Harvey Coop and Vassio M are both sports of Spartacus, one of my faves, and Harvey Coop is $15 everywhere else.


Woodlands Wildthing


Oh! And cute frogs.

Thanks! I may need it. Or perhaps it's my turn to give something away.

Pretty! And for the price I'd try it too if Dahlia's grew at tmy house!

The price is great! I hope it works out.
