What a glorious colour on the last one Tel, so of course I like the colour of Moonlight's last dahlia.

Tel you have certainly hit something this year you have 5-6 excellent looking collerettes well done Mr and some good strong colours to boot the peach, pink, white are super. You will be keeping quite a few to try next season I suspect. fantastic work Tel

Totally agree with ian

Moonlight Tel love them all!!!! Moonlight the white for me Tel the apricot/peach. Che says Tel 's are his favourite

There is a few what I call nice Collarettes, my own personal opinion it comes down to 2 for the best of them.

After discussing with Brenda, that I think the latter Collarette is the best of the Collarette seedlings this season. Brenda agrees with me, we should name it Birkenshaw Ian Naylor, after her son who died this year.

What a nice thing to do. This dahlia is going to 'go places'. It all 'feels' right when all things are considered, i.e. the name, the colour, the popularity of this type of dahlia at present, even the fact that it is your turn now Tel. The best of luck with Dahlia 'Birkenshaw Ian Naylor'.

Tel a really lovely tribute ! It is a real cracker . You have some really lovely seedlings. I hope they do well for you. All the best mate

[Lou78W]

Love them both Tel and a lovely tribute to Brenda's Son

[Raymond]

Tel ian what you think of this second year seedling from John Carter kilncroft Becka. I like this one very very much I prefer it to Claire de lune colour a soft creamy lemon picture taken this morning  after rain last night I have two plants of it . He is not sure if enough petal overlay it has improved from last year. Lovely long stem and strong and bloom angle lovely as well . 

[Tel]

Except for the slight gap between the two petals at 8-9 oclock its nice and seems to stand the rain. Would like to see another one though.

[Lou78W]

Its pretty and delicate looking.......has potential depending on what another bloom throws up Raymond

Tel when 'Ian Naylor' is available to purchase Che would like one he really is taken by it and when I explained the history behind it just now he said:

"an extra nice one for my collection made even better because it was grown with thoughts of 'her' (Brenda) son so he will not be forgotten"

Cat tell him from me, if I get the tuber through the winter, 98% certain I will. Che will be number 1, for a cutting from it.

Let's see what the next bloom looks like Tel Lou78W another opening soon.

Very delicate looking flower vigorous plant.
