fingers crossed for next year.

I think we've cracked it!

Interestingly they put this up on their website:

NOTE: I cannot guarantee that a variegated variety will not go solid. This is the nature of variegated dahlias -- even the expensive ones.

But I think that I have found out what I want to grow and it is nothing like what my Dad grows but I am going to talk about it when I see him tomorrow.

Clearview Orca is one that has also caught my eye.

I think if one is paying for international freight and phytosanitary certificates, getting a good number of varieties would be necessary to make it worthwhile. Then there would be the vexed question of where to fit them in once they arrive!

Yes, Theresa strikes me as someone who tells it like it is. She is open about the faults of several of her cultivars.

We have received our Clearview dahlias order and the good news is they are taking cuttings of Candy Jayne to build up their stock So my fingers are staying crossed.
