blown_dry Are you me? I saw Zeek in the list of new dahlia additions last night and got excited.
2025 Orders and Openings chat
MissyWeitzel It’s a sickness! Lol.
Most of the ones I have ordered so far are Rivers...which makes me happy. Just need a few Hollyholls and some from Boleys to top them off...
Got a few cuttings. Only have done 2 orders for the 2025 season, the other being from Brambleside farms, also cuttings. Probably will try for Crazy4 on Saturday and that's it. Missed rivers, but have like 15 of their intros from last 2 years.

LoriDee Looks like they use Giraffe in their breeding by the looks of some of those petals
I asked last year and they confirmed!
Bessie I had WB's Lavender Ice this past year and loved it. I was eyeing RNX Proud. I look forward to hearing what you have to say about that one.
Juliarugula River's Quackin' Back was another that caught my attention. It was also on my list to purchase. I look forward to your review of that one, also.
I didn't have any luck getting tubers at River's, but I did order cuttings of River's Can't Elope, River's Sarah and WB's Aja. I look forward to hearing about everyone's new acquisitions.
Flowernut River's Quackin Back caught my eye first time through the list! I hope it doesn't stir up my duck bug patrol in the garden!

Well, missed Clearview Enid. I was immediately put into a checkout line and then it fell out / removed. So then as I was checking out the other two were removed too. CV Enid was what I was really hoping for. Win some, lose some.
Was anyone successful purchasing one of their top three wants from Misfit Dahlias?
MIDahlias same. All I had in my cart was Enid and Birdnest. I dipped after Enid immediately disappeared. I mean, probably 10 seconds after opening, cuz I’m pretty fast. Oh well.
I spent a good chunk of time this afternoon laying out my planting plan in my drafting program, and my lack of open slots was at the forefront of my mind. So it was a bit of a relief to strike out.
calico20hill I hope it doesn't stir up my duck bug patrol in the garden!
Were you able to get a new tuber/cutting of Rivers Coal Mine?
Juliarugula I don't need them either, but I really do love the look of Enid. There's always next year.
The checkout was a bit of a bummer — I missed Lakeview Lady while waiting to checkout in my third dash back.
I did a first dash and came out alive with Clearview Birdnest and Carmen Lotus at least though, which I was shocked by. Went back for another grab-and-go and somehow got Clearview Embers, Misfit Kaleidoscope, and a couple oldies but goodies. I … don’t know how it all happened. It was like magic!
I enlisted my partner to JUST go for 1 Clearview Jennae and it fell out or was removed from his cart while sitting in the checkout line. He wasn’t very pleased about it, and he doesn’t even care about buying the tuber
Tonight I bought Wyn's Waltina at Madelyn's. I hope it's as tall as she says. A 10" bloom on a 6' plant. Basically a giant orange scarecrow for the garden.
I got 3 of the new ones - CV Bird nest, Embers, Clara belle; then CV Ginger and CV Leroux (voles ate 2 years ago). Good prices, fair shipping $15 across country. Think I checked out in 20 seconds lol
Enid fell out of my cart too. I went for 2 varieties. I think Enid was only destined for those who didn’t add anything else.
I totally forgot her sale was just opening & I was late to Madelyn's too
which was good for my pocketbook since I just got 9 cuttings from Herons Nest
