Don't know what I am doing as I want to drop Jomanda and Mary's but I need a strong alternative to give me half a chance at winning but I haven't found anything suitable. Red Balloon has a better formation but has never won, so not sure if it deserves the plant space. I've had loads of seeds from Red Balloon, so I'm hoping that I get something worth growing makes an appearance - would love it if my Nuland's Josephine threw up something special.
Who knows. Going to have to drop more but I at least I've got a bit more of an idea.
Show or not it's the Seedlings that are most exciting for me right now. I don't think I am very good at the exhibiting but we'll see.
I have Red Balloon, never shown it, or seen it win on the show bench. Well not round here anyway. |

In my head at the moment, I want to leave it this year, so I've not included it on my plans. Did you collect any Red Balloon seeds this year?

Going to take quite a while to get used to my new 'Look' if I don't get used to it, I'll go back to the other one.  Looks weird now.

Wish I could have found a Barbarry Surprise but just hope that I can grow one worth photographing. |

Woodford Dahlias sold Barbarry Surprise last year but not this year, I wonder why...? As he did well with them in the show of those photos.
Frank Taylor has it on his list, so I guess I will need to get it from him. |

Yes Frank does have it, it may be that Mark has not listed it because it is a poor tuber maker and maybe he only has enough stock for himself. Yes I agree with you there are many Miniature Decs that are contenders may be as many as 10 - 12 varieties.

Well that's my plan, hoping that I have a few potential good contenders. |
