Thanks for all the compliments but I can't take any credit. All I do is cut them and stick them into vases. Their natural beauty does the rest. I would love to grow a lot more - I have a wish list a mile long.

Poochella, the dahlia in the blue vase to the right of the asters and bud is 'Kenora Majestic'. This is the first time I have grown it and I really like it.

If the dahlia in this picture is the other one you asked about, it is 'Kingston', one of my favorites. There are some dahlias that I grow year after year, like 'Kingston' and 'Alfred Grille' and 'Chilson's Pride'. I just can't bear to give them up and I am always afraid I will lose those tubers over the winter and not be able to find them for sale anywhere. Some of the old favorites are harder and harder to find.
