I have attached a file that lists our introductions with the RHS classification. It also lists the seed parent for the flowers. Some ask if we ever use ...
Hi Steve, So unselfish to tell all where your seedlings originated from. Looking at the list we can hazard a guess at the pollen parents, that is unless they...
Steve, I take it you have the American comparison of this list, and this is for your UK friends. I've only just started to cotton on to the American...

Welcome. This group's interest is breeding new dahlia varieties for both show and gardens. We use different methods to pollenize our flowers but we all enjoy...
Happy 2007 to you all! I am 'celebrating' in a strange way....... taking apart dahlia seed heads. It will seem tedious to many, nuts to others, but I AM A...
And may every seed bar one produce worthwhile flowers, and have tubers like bunches of Bananas which keep for ever and ever. Why bar one, because nothing can...
