Can you stand more pictures? I'm having fun putting my picts. into albums on CDs & found some especially sunny ones for today.

This is Janal Amy. It's an A (8-10"diameter) Semi-cactus. I really liked this one but we lost it :( It was introduced in 1999 by Jones in the UK.

This is Zorro-- an AA Informal Dec. Dark Red. The umbrellas indicate that it was close to a show time & we were shading them to keep them nice for the show. This was the year we won Best AA in 3 shows in a row with Zorro in either single entry or triple entry- or both. A fun year! It was introduced in 1987 by Madeline Giesert. She said it was the only seed she planted that year-- & I'm REALLY glad she did!

This is Bonaventure-- an AA (10+ inches) Formal Dec. & is probably the most famous of Bob Simon's introductions. It won the Derrill Hart Medal in 1991 & was introduced in 1982.

This is Wyn's Highlighter. It's an A Formal Dec. & is probably the brightest yellow you'll ever get in a dahlia. Our grandson named it - he was coloring with a Hylighter & said we should name it after his felt pen- he was 4 at the time! It was introduced in 2000.

This is a view of what we call the Big Garden with Mt. Baker in the background. Love that view- makes working in the dahlias even more pleasant.
