Steve....You have helped me get thru the bad weather time with your photos as well and you and I know how hard it is to have Dahlias and dahlia tubers in these Northern climates......keep on posting and please keep showing your beautiful photos.....Thanks Steve.... Rusty

5 % degrees here right now....and I just checked my tuber room.....36 degrees....eeeeeek!!!!! I just popped another heat lamp in the root cellar.....if I lose any of these to temperature...I'll be very upset. can't wait to Spring time.

Again....a variety that I've shown before....very popular at the shows and the Farmer's Market....."Neon Splendor"....

Wow...very nice to see Dahlias from other gardens....great photos Lynn and Steve....thanks for sharing and thank you Lynn for getting me to this thread......Rusty

I'd love to see some photos of your Dahlias.....I do need to go back and see other Dahlia threads....it's been awhile since I've been on here.... Today is my day off from work....so maybe I'll have some more time to check things out that I've missed.

This is a "Cactus" form Dahlia....notice the long, narrow petals......I have no idea what the variety is....it was a present from another Dahlia grower that didn't remember the name....what ever it is...I like it.

This is an old variety called "Papageno" named after the bird from "The Magic Flute".....notice the wonderful striped pattern in the petals......

This isn't a Laciniated variety...but it is a wonderful color and an old Dahlia......"Procyon"....

Thanks, The fringed form is called "Laciniated" in this country and "Fimbriated"....in the U.K.. The first variety that I posted on here is also a Laciniated dahlia...."Myrtle's Folly". I have several varieties that are "fringed" like this.

Here is another variety that I've posted before but well worth showing again...."Tsuki Yori No Shisha"..(messenger to the moon)....from Japan....

Another Kelvin.....

You will notice the new sprouts (eyes) starting to grow from the crown end of the tuber....I will lay the tuber on it's side with the eyes pointing up towards the garden surface. Laying them sideways helps to develop a good root system with proper tuber growth direction.....you want the tubers...

Thanks for asking.......First...I'd start with a few healthy Dahlia tubers that are showing eyes from the crown area of the tuber...... then I would plant them laying on their sides about 6 in. below the surface of a well tilled garden spot that has been enriched with natural compost and that...

How beautiful......very nice.....

Thanks......Anyone else who has some Dahlia photos are more than welcome to share here...I'd love to see other gardeners Dahlias.... Here is "Hawaii".....

Thanks Steve.......great to be back and hoping to get others to try Dahlias this coming Spring. Here's another one.....

Just another photo to excite the future Dahlia growers.....This is "Vassio Meggos"...a lavender sport off the popular "Spartacus" Dahlia.

How Nice....I won't see any of mine 'til June....great photo.

Thanks.....Here is another one....."Akita".

Zone 6? I don't think so.....maybe with heavy mulch in zones 7 and above....... Digging them up isn't so bad when you have just a few......I dug up about 2,200 clumps last Fall...all are stored in my other basement where it stays about 40-42 degrees all Winter. Here is another variety...
