ugh those are just completely luscious! gah! i've only ever grown dahlias once and they were gifted to me (they were read, i'm not sure what variety), but i worked landscaping and every year we'd put in 1000s of dahlias on this couple's property (and then dig them up before winter). such a labor of love, but so so worth it. hey, i just found you, welcome to steemit! following you now, happy to see more female earth based entrepreneurs!
