I sent off an email order to DahliaLama. We'll see!

AKWindWatcher Yeah... I did. 😊

AKWindWatcher anyone remember when I thought I got 6 bonus tubers from Swan Island? One order from them, but I obviously had completely forgotten what I ordered, and didn't notice the second page of the shipping paperwork, listing what I incorrectly identified as "bonuses".

Bessie if it makes you feel any better, for a few exciting hours this week I thought I received two KA's Keltie Cherry as bonus tubers on a small order I placed. I later discovered the second invoice and the actual bonus tuber.

I’ve been pleasantly surprised this year at how few cancellations I’ve gotten! Only two tubers cancelled so far and I’ve received just about everything.

I think last year I had at least five cancelled, out of what was probably half as many tubers ordered.

I got my order from Bulldog Dahlias and they have info listed on the invoice for all the tubers and heights. All of the heights listed were 5' except for Hollyhill Finlandia which was listed as 12'. I'll be interested to see how that turns out. 😁

edewitt Finlandia should look great viewed from your second-floor windows!😁

Teddahlia

Our Finlandia is generally only 9-10 feet tall.

Teddahlia I've never had anything above 8' tall and that was only because it was growing in the shade. The only other plant I've had quite tall aside from Holly Huston was HH Dungeness and that only got about 7-7.5' tall. I generally don't top off the plants either so I wonder if I'm doing something wrong?

Honken re-stock today!

Honnat

Krista A pretty meager restock. I listed a few Misc that I thought would sell quick. They did. 🙂

edewitt For what it's worth, my tallest plants don't top 6 ft. But I don't mind, I like big blooms, but at my eye level where I can see them.

Teddahlia

Latitude.

Krista

Honnat it was a great one, and if I had any more room I would have submitted more orders from you, no questions asked!

KitCMC My orders from River's always used to come packed in Tyvek house insulation, scraps from Eugene Kenyon's construction business. This time it was cedar shavings, though. Slowdown in house construction?

Juliarugula

PNWGal seems like Rivers really increased sales this year (although I could be wrong…). My guess is they ran out of scraps. Or maybe it’s that building material costs have gone up so much (not that track Tyvek specifically, but in general seems to be true).

My rivers order was wood chips also.

KitCMC

PNWGal at least they stay warm, something I am always worried about in my cold climate. Maybe we should start an unexpected packing materials thread. Winner each year gets a free tuber 😆

I have not gotten either of my 2 RIver's Orders. When did yours come? Do I need to write and check on them?

Juliarugula

calico20hill mine came a few weeks ago.

Krista

calico20hill Mine arrived 3/23 but we’ve certainly had warmer temps in Seattle than OR has had!

Emilyp

My River's order was delivered yesterday, so no worries Noni! I bet it is on the way or will be soon.

calico20hill

It seems like we would get ours before Wisconsin....If it were a normal spring? I did just send off an inquiry to them. I should get Triple Wren today and that makes River's the last of my orders.
