Evening everyone! Well I like Grey, Silver and White foliage or blooms but am like you, Patti. They just sorta happen and enjoy seeing a punch of neutrals next to hot colored flowers.

Wow the mail was quick, Faye. I wanted to surprise you and hope your goodies looked alright. Do you leave your Dahlias in the ground over Winter?

Wouldn't you know it. I failed to dig up Wynne's "New Pastel" last Fall. He came back and seems to be happily blooming in his new location. Ya'll remember my fiasco last year planting Dahlias between rows of Cannas? Poor things never had a chance to see much Sun and Kelvin White (lol) was the only one that bloomed. The ones I overwintered in the garage didn't make it, but two of the Humpty Dumpties you sent me LK earlier this year have bloomed. Out of the 10 or so someone offered for postage earlier this year, 7 are up, so that's pretty good odds in my book.
