Thank you, Dan, and thank your aunt for loving it.

Right now I love Vancouver Left more than the real thing. I will have to tag the base of the stem but having them in close proximity is fine with me since they don't clash.

The third photo also is nameless, also from HD's Jumbo package of 4 for $10.00. Once again, I'd love a name for it if anyone knows it.

There were very nice selections at all the stores you mentioned this year but HD had the most offerings.

Plain old, run of the mill Dusty Miller is next to Paul Smith, Dan.

I didn't know dahlias would or could be influenced so much by soil. Kasasagi is in a different spot this year and looks more golden than in previous years.

So far, Robert Too is the disappointment since it's been blooming so far down into the foliage that I can't get a good photo of it. I hope it gets with the program soon!
