Just remembered i have some dahlias in pots in the cold greenhouse at home i had forgotten about, they are the ones we had in the front garden.
Will have to knock them out of the pots tomorrow, i dread to think what condition they will be in.

My cheques cleared today for the dahlia society, I joined for the first time and have also ordered the rings and a book. Just need to get some vases and then I will be all set, oh yes and then just the small matter of getting the flowers grown ready lol

The Dark Angel is still doing nothing but I wasn't really expecting it too, I haven't completely given up on it yet.

Lou - you haven't forgotten you were going to send me a rooted cutting, have you? I can't even remember which one it was!

I feel pathetic when you and the experts can reel off all the names as you do so easily, but I suppose your addiction is like mine for geraniums. ;D ;D
