I have some leftover dahlia tubers for trade or postage. They are starting to get a little old looking and I am not motivated enough to check if they all have eyes, so set your expectation sort of low on the quality of these tubers. However I do think most will all grow fine...so here is the list. You have to take at least 6 so I am not shipping so much.
Cindy Q-1
Cherokee Charm-2
Skywalker-1
Jen Pink-4
Nadine Jessie-1
Margaret DuRoss-2
Hillcrest Amour-1
Parkland Victoria-4
Mr. Larry-1
Yoro Kobi-1
Plum Pretty-13
Show n Tell-13
Dads Pretty Lady-6
Dixie Winedot-3
Wantas Capella-3
Jennie Gervas-1
Sea Fuego-2
Croyden Dignity-1
Elma Elizabeth-2
Islander-1
See any you like?

Sounds great, I'll send you a DMail.
Robin, darn! Wish I'da known about the Dahlias before you sent me out the Daffodil bulbs! They could have flown together. Well, that's ok. I'm sure they'll find good homes!
Well Larry....Sue got the one I had for trade already...but since your name is Larry, I'll go find another one for you. Don't you think it might be a little toasty down in Foley Alabama for dahlias?
am I thinking of the right plant? the ones northerners have to dig up every year? there hardy to zone 9? I looked it up real quick we have a dahlia society in alabama so they must grow here?

If you are into a lightning trade read on...
I leave on vacation in a week, we would both have to ship priority on Monday. I have a Clematis "Polish Spirit" small, but a rooted two year old, and or many too many columbine. I love dahlias, they have to be dug here (ick) and last year all mine (so many more than i'll admit to) froze in the ground because my daughter was extremely ill and i didn't get to them. So this year i have one, sad tuber i bought at a home improvement center. I have been dreading the late summer when they are my major colour.
Let me know if you are interested, i'll package up tomorrow.
Melissa
edited to say, i have some iris too, if your interested, i'll send you a list.

Ok Melissa. I'll ship on Monday. Which six do you want? Trade for the Clematis sounds great. I actually have a trellis with no plant because I recently ripped out an uncooperative rose. (should have traded him off too!) Which six.
Larry...cool with me to trade to Alabama. I'll send six. Which 5 would you like in addidtion to Mr. Larry. Dahlias actually like the summer weather to be a bit cool. That is why they grow so well in the PNW> Sue is in the perfect place. But, I live in NC where it is stinkin hot and I can grow them. You just have to protect them from the late (hot) afternoon sun and make sure they get plenty of water. Choose your location carefuly. If they get cooked by the afternoon sun they will quite blooming.
you pic... I don't know there color

Come on Rachel....don't you want a few? I don't mind sending you another package. You wouldn't leave these poor defenseless dahlias with no home would you?
OK. I'll pick you some good ones. How about Show N Tell, Plum Pretty, Mr. Larry, Skywalker, and Dixie Winedot. All those are very pretty.
I am only familiar with Show n Tell. I like the cactus, lotus and especially the fibrillated type. I am not a fan of the ball type and the little ones don't seem to be fond of me. So i will leave it up to you to pick.
They bake their brains out here, and seem happy to do it. I do water them very well. It must be a zone thing.
Melissa
Oops I left some off. Here are a few more
Sunny 14
Juanita 9
Magic Moment 1 (mine is blooming now! pretty) see photo
that is great let me know how much postage is, do you take PP
ely
I'll send them in one of those small priority mail boxes. The postage for those is 3.85. I do have paypal and LOVE trading with others that have paypal! my paypal address is thripmaster@aol.com. I'll send these out Monday.
Ok Melissa: I'll send you Hillcrest Amour, Parkland Victoria, Juanita, Rose M, Cherokee Charm, and Show N Tell. All are quite nice. If you already have Show N Tell let me know and I'll replace it with something else.
Robin
Please send me whatever you think a good assortment would be. I'm new at dahlias and excited to give them a try. Our spring has been so wet and cold here, it's probably good I haven't started eariler this year.
I appreciate your generosity.

Oh yea, Janetlee. Paypal is great. my address is thripmaster@aol.com Thanks so much for doing it that way.
Pins, I'll bring you some. If you aren't picky....I'll bring the leftovers for you! I am sure there should be at least 6 or more and I never have seen a brown or beige dahlia (except dead ones). If you want something special please tell me and I'll set it asside.
If you have any of the Parkland Victoria or Juanita, that would be nice. I have a brother named Juan, so I think I'll give Juanita to my mom. She'd like that. Thanks so much.
I have several Juanita so I'll save at least one for you and one for your mom. Also set asside a Parkland.
