Which dahlias are on your wish list this year?
Aiming for a certain color or color palette?
As I've been digging up our dahlia field this fall I keep thinking I seriously cannot add more to my collection. I need to reduce the number of varieties I have. Lol For real!
And then I look at my wish list and I'm like whatever... there's always room for more!
Currently I have over 200 varieties that I've been updating to our website for upcoming tuber sales and I have about another 100 varieties that I grew this year that I am building more stock of to be able to share those too.
We went from digging tubers in perfect fall weather to windy, misty all day weather and I'm still out there thinking, Yeah, I can totally find room to add more!
And don't get me started on all the dahlia seed pods I kept. Gonna need another acre just for those! I will likely mix some together and sell some later this winter.
I have always loved soft yellows and smokey pinks and purples. But I really need to add more whites and blushes to my collections (for weddings) so I think I'm going try and stay focused on light hues that are on my wish list. I also love ombres, where the color fades as the petals trail back. And fun unique looking blooms. Love those.
See... you are not the only one with a dahlia addiction problem. haha
I am always telling newbies once you've got ten consider yourself a member of the club. Before you know it you'll have 100 of these beauties.
