As a lad I met him at the big flower shows. You can be sure the advice he gives will be bang on the money. |

Phillip Damp was a contributor in Garden news and also president of the NDS for a while. There is a dahlia named after him too.

Indeed......he was an icon Got your catalogue Richard....you tempter you ;D Thank you Lou  ... with the success of the cut flower trade we are concentrating on "garden" cultivars rather than exhibition types; we are going to have a go at getting all those flower arrangers to grow their own dahlias  Funny isn't it that some of the better cut flower cultivars are not good exhibitors For 2012 we are beefing up the cut flower cultivars and during next year will review the stock list and build up the exhibition cultivars. |
