I had my first win with it for multiple vases, so have a "soft spot" for her. One tuber would be lovely, thanks ian

ian Lou78W it should also be in it to enjoy it ! More than anything that is what I want. If success comes for it then marvellous but for me learning how to grow these beautiful flowers well and making a great garden are the priority for next year

Still going to show but got to be realistic. Will aim high take my time learn study and with a bit of luck and loads of hard work it might just pay off with some decent vases !

and if very lucky a red ticket.

Onwards and upwards !

Very true Ian. I love to win myself when I won the national school wind orchestra championships in my teens I could not stop smiling for days. I do miss that.

Maybe next year I will experience that feeling again with dahlia growing. Only as a novice grower but got to start somewhere
