Hi Robh,

Here is an interesting support system. I'm not sure whether they have too many layers of horizontal mesh. Getting the blooms out could be tricky. The frames appear to also support row covers: www.alphadahlias.com/sites/default/files/dahlia-photos/Dahlia%20Website%202011.JPG

That looks nice and neat!....The system Halls use is just a single layer.....and I think the blooms when they are cut, will lift out easily.
