WOW thunder and lightening, CRASH, BOOM BAM. AND RAIN POURING DOWN. 8:00 am but dark as night. No thirsty dahlias for awhile. Kiare Pompadour, Mingus Selena, Ahoy Matey, My Beverly and a couple of seedlings all that,s bloomin so far. Steve S. Steve S. Quote | Post #356262 (1)

I hope your plants survived the downpour. We don't often get thunderstorms out here, so they are an event to be treasured when they do move in. How long have you been trying seedlings? That would be a lot of fun, but my seeds are always soggy by the time I get to them. Annie http://cubits.org/dahlias Quote | Post #356505 (2)

seedlings, just one year really. Got some good seeds from Painted Lady. Next year from Sir Alf Ramsey but all went bad. Going out now to check storm damage, Cheers Steve S. Steve S. Quote | Post #356598 (3)

How'd your plants do after the big crash boomer? Painted Lady is one of my absolute favorites. Annie http://cubits.org/dahlias Quote | Post #358247 (4)
