So, Marty... If I showed up on your block on "dahlia-dividing day", I wonder if a few would find their way into my car???

Hey Marty, Dahlias seem to have struck a chord! They are just such a gorgeous chunk of color, aren't they? A couple of summers ago one of our daughters got married and we had the reception in our yard. Forget the florist, we put clear vases of dahlias on every table and everywhere else. Borrowed blooms from others too, for a most magnificent rainbow! I've noticed that everyone sniffs a dahlia- thinking that much color MUST have a fragrance! Now I snip lengths of daphne and stick in with them. Viola! Scented dahlias.My husband and fam are up here in Washington.(We've had a gorgeous week, but true to tradition, its raining on Memorial Day). We are sceduled for AC June 23-27, then Guatemala for a few days after that. And what started my brave intro to this chatroom- any tips for a first timer?
