What a beautiful garden! My Dad used to have quite a collection of dahlias back in the 1950s/60s. Every year he'd dig up the tubers and store them on wire racks under the house. He'd write the variety name on the tubers in indelible pencil. As a toddler I knew the name of ALL of them. The only name I can remember is "Tilbury Starlight", which I think was a magenta & white cactus flower (the cactus ones are my favourites). This has inspired me to plant some this year (around the beginning of November in Melbourne).
When I get some I will look out for Tilbury starlight. Thanks for your comment. Very interesting and you reminded me that I overheard someone say that biddulph store theirs in their basement 🙏😊
Yes amazing looking plant, we had a circular bed we stuffed with seeds this year of all different varieties. They ptoduced so so many! Everyone who came round left with a vase load to take home with them!
Love dahlias so many different colours and shapes
Amazing variety isn't there Daphne. Next year I will grow some
