me, too on the crimson dahlia and Dooley :-) pretty kitty...give him a scratch behind the ears for me

now that I've decided to enter the exciting world of dahlias, how the heck do I decide where to start......Al, Nancy, anybody....HELP! are any of them easier to grow or bloom than any others or do I just pick what's pretty (aren't they all) and give it a whirl? do you usually get them to bloom first year from seed?
