We had severe storms last night. My 6 1/2' 'Fire Magic' had toppled over onto several other dahlias, they went down like dominos. 'Fire Magic' is completely snapped off at the base; I hope the others will be okay.

Sometimes when I am really busy in spring I think that dahlias are too much work on top of everything else I have to take care of. These pictures are to remind me that they are worth whatever it takes to grow them.
