Imported some dahlia seeds from Washington from the good old US of A

Imported these seeds for the wife to have. My wife loves her flowers and was saying you’re always importing palm seeds wheres are my seeds she asked. A wise man would have done what I did imported some seeds  for the wife. Complete happiness was the order of the day when they arrived wise decision I thought. I will grow them in the hothouse and see how what I get in the way of flowers. But very healthy looking seedlings for sure. I tipped them a couple of days ago to see how they go. All I have to do now is pick them and hand them to the wife the fun part.

For sure we will. They would live in your climate.

Indeed. Here they have been in bloom the last two months. The best practice around here is to dig up the tubers for winter storage and replant in early April

That’s some beautiful flowers you have there. We dig them up and replant them as well. We can leave them in but the best cultural method is dig em up and replant. Your climate looks perfect for growing them.

I wish I could say these are ours but they’re from the local arboretum from about two weeks ago. They have at least a dozen varieties over there

Well at least you know what varieties to plant now.
