I could not imagine my daughters in North Queensland growing these, yet there were fields of them grown commercially in Victoria.

I've decided to leave the remaining cuttings on the roof deck since I don't want to lose anymore, at least the temps are much more stable (controlled) in there as it's my roofdeck greenhouse for my hydro veggies.

I'm very excited as I've managed to find someone from ebay who was willing to go through all the trouble of posting dahlia tubers via FedEx. I picked a lot of purple/lilac ones because it's my favorite color. Must keep an eye out for the FedEx guy by next week

I've just received tubers of 12 new (to me) cultivars for 2012 cut flower work; they might appear in 2013 catalogue
