KristinS NCDahlia There is a new farm called Bloominghills Farm that is partnered with Paul Bloomquist’s son, Thomas, to grow new and existing Bloomquist varieties. Stonehouse just announced by email they would be adding more KA’s to their sale next year.
DarcyD Bloominghills Farm has their upcoming sale varieties listed now. Sale in early December. Sounds like they have a goal to get one of all 440 BQs varieties! I love that!! This is where you will find Mr. Bloomquists new introductions going forward. https://www.bloominghillsfarms.com/category/all-products
Teddahlia It is nice his son is starting up this farm. Paul has always had difficulties getting his varieties distributed. He has always been a prolific breeder and one year he entered 18 varieties in the Tacoma trial garden.
calico20hill DarcyD I missed gheir first sale and there was nothing left that I needed...I ws so disappointed when I found I had missed out!
AndreaB Eagle Dahlia Farm is open. Dan’s still selling at pre-Covid prices. Most are $10 and under, with several at just $5! What a bargain.
Juliarugula I’m excited to see that Delightful Dahlias is listing Wyn’s Eeek! In their upcoming sale. I grew it this year and loved it so much! I’m glad to see it’s still out there in gardens other than just mine!
calico20hill Some of my prettiest seedlings came from Wyn's NEW Pastel this year. I am planning to grow as many of the Wyn's dahlias as I can just to save seeds from...(Seeds f EEEK not included),. THis was one of the seedlings and I had several that did not have time to bloom but I saved the tubers of. I think I also had a yellow and a white that I liked and saved/
calico20hill I really liked these seedlings but over all I like flowers around 4" for cut flowers. It might take a few generations to get these down to the size I want..but in the meantime I surely do enjoy them!
calico20hill Cosey I hope the tubers survive storage and I can grow several plants next year! I had at least 3 nice seedlings from the Wyn's NEW PAstel seeds.It makes me want to try out seeds from other Wyn's dahlias. I knowCory works hard to get them big. Now I want to turn them around and shrink them down to cutting size :-)
JillAnne MIDahlias He told me he was going to start til around 6PM PCT. It wasn't firm though, so I must confess I am still checking periodically.
MissyWeitzel MIDahlias Yeah I was hoping it would be like last year and he'd start super early and roll them one by one so I could catch stuff before the masses realized there were things available. I think I placed 7 or 8 orders that morning. I have my eye on 4 things I'm hoping to get today!
