Previously, about 6 - David Howard, maybe Bishop of Llandaff and at least two tall ones, plus a couple of dwarf ones like the Gallery series.
This year, with the BAD influence of certain Daliahoholics, I have doubled my number. Still David Howard, but now plus Rebecca's World, City of Rotterdam, Karma choc, Vancouver, Renoir, Roxy, Fabulo, Fantastico and a couple more that I can't remember. Some are duplicated, too.

We perfectly understand Candyblue ...you are a fully fledged dahliaholic.....I don't know offhand how many I have..about 8 plus 4 new tubers at the mo...with new ones coming this year. I only have room for about 50 plants at the lottie (atm)....but who knows...I may be "pinching" some veggie spaces before too long  |

Do you grow anything else, Tel? Geraniums, for example? ;D Geranium, I happen to know that Tel is growing something else which may come as a surprise, because it is a beautiful plant which has to be grown well. Tel can barely mention its name because it is a dirty word to a serious dahlia grower. I am fairly sure that Brenda has some nice plants in her part of the garden. |

What a giggle I am having here.  Let's see if Tel owns up. He probably won't. Yes Geranium, you are right. Geraniums do look very well with dahlias. They cover the legs nicely. |

Cherry kindly sent me a good size plant of Pennine Oriel, After taking cuttings i now have 8 plants, growing these for the OH for cut flowers, well that is the intention, come show time if there happens to be a good spray i would enter them in a local show. i would enter them in my partners name though, because her surname is different to mine. I would of course deny i did grow them. |

You did not have to do that Tel. You could have kept them guessing. Still, they are not like Scrumpy's name of 'mophead'.
