Larry Smith did cruise through the gardens and could well have taken lots of seedling pictures. By the way, during the ADS sponsored tour of our gardens, most people spent their time viewing the dahlias in the seedling gardens. They want to see what is coming out in the future and enjoy selecting the seedlings they like. One person used some marking tape to mark her favorite. Oops, I wonder if Margaret left it on the clump? The most popular seedling with women was a light blend waterlily seedling and I will eventually find a picture and post it here. Men seldom give up their views although Dick Parshall did the "full seedling garden tour" and selected his favorite. Another experienced breeder likes miniature cactus and semi cactus dahlias and took the time to point out about three that he liked. They were all ones that grew over 5 feet tall, by the way.
Another one in the pipeline and it was planted in the main garden.
