Hi Rod- Yes, we will be shipping from BC again. We have to get phyto certificates but try to get a lot of them at once so the cost is less for our customers. ...
This group has been really quiet for a while. Now that the digging and dividing is over and the web site is mostly done(web sites are never done), I have some...
... Â One of the more disappointing aspects of dahlia breeding is the transition from the first year seedling to the second year seedling. Most are not nearly...
The glass is half full.... There are improvements in some, and if you had the pits of a summer, with misfortunes too, there are some that only bloomed in...
First - the good news - For the first time, I managed to take some seed this year Second - the bad news - All the seed-heads unfortunately got dumped together ...
All the seed-heads unfortunately got dumped together before I could get tags on them I know a breeder that mixes them all together every year. He generally...
I do sympathize. Other documentation funnies: I used the pollen from more than one cultivar....... So, I know the seed parent but have to guess at the...
I wonder if it isn't time for Dahlia breeding to take a new direction. It seems as if everyone is breeding for bigger, brighter better blooms. What about...
ultimately 222 germinated out of about 400 'seeds'. Germination rates are interesting. Some people claim very high germination rates. I am sure that they throw...
I agree, David, there is room for more than just Exhibition dahlias. There will always be a market for a good garden-grade dahlia - in fact, there is a lot...

Hi David, No criticism on your thoughts from this corner!? I would add one more dimension to that 'dream' - that being disease/insect/pest resistance.? I hope...
Diversification of this type has merit, but how to get them to the target market? I won't be growing Zorro again because it consistently blooms late. It is...
Other documentation crazies: photographs I have a bunch of decent MD's in varying shades of red. One has to be very careful in matching the picture to the...
I am interested in getting a piece of the pubescent D. sorensenii......................... The hairs are a physical obstacle to the earwigs' movements. (Some...
Billy, I supplied a number of tubers to Nick Gitts at Swan Island a few years ago. I believe they planned to sell that species dahlia, but I do not know if...
How about a carnivorous dahlia with an appetite for european earwigs....Ok Bill how about crossing Farmer John with a Vinus Fly Trap. We might get a really big...

I had Union Jack as well and some of the plants would be quite lax, but I lost it a couple of years ago. The thing is if you are raising dahlias from seed then...
We have thoroughly covered storage methodology and the growing of healthy plants to harvest healthy, easily stored tubers. There is one more issue that no one...
Very true, Ted- & isn't it always your favorites that don't keep well!! Â We had a discussion with Earl Huston back in the 1990's about this very thing. He had...
This past season it occurred to me that the difficult-to-store Dahlias might be re-bred in hopes of getting better tubers with a good flower. Pipe dream? ...
Ted, I am one of those growers that do not take cuttings, so tuber production is very important to me. As part of my seedling evaluation I look at tuber...
Another example of the "purple curse" perhaps.? Kaitlyn is one of the best large dahlias and does well here in Oregon.? It does make quite a few tubers and it...
In the articles about color in dahlias, it has been noted that there are two different red pigments. One is called dark anthocyanin and the other pale...
Ted, you are absolutely a technical wizard! Just think of the potential here - a computer with hand-held scanner for judges - "Yep - right colour for that...
Hi Wayne, I have the idea that some "lines" (that is produced by certain tubers) of plants within one cultivar may be more prolific than others.? The reason...
