Hi triple b,

If you notice these two reports were from 2004...I don't remember but maybe 2004 wasn't a good year for dahlia tubers...who knows.

I know someone that ordered tubers last year in Ontario and then shipped one tuber to B.C. to a friend and she posted lovely pictures of this dahlia, when it flowered.

Since you already ordered, I wouldn't worry about it. Wait and see what you get...if you get doubtful tubers...contact them immediately. Or if they don't grow or if you have other problems.

If you notice it says in your link these tubers were shipped later in the year......I got an email not long after I ordered from them...telling me that my order would be shipped 3rd week of April. I don't think that sounds late as long as they actually are.

We will have to see when and how our orders are ...Maybe post back here and let us know....if I remember I will do the same.

Now that you mentioned it, those orders DID have to travel quite far, and into the States to boot. Likely they got held at the border too. As for the wrong order, I guess we will have to see. I checked the Better Business Bureau too and although they are not members, they have not had any complaints in the past 36 months. I am just banking on the fact that I live in the same province as Art's so the tubers won't be in transit long. Hopefully only a couple days.

Anyway thanks for helping me put it into perspective. And I WILL let you guys know how they do. If it is very good I will be sure to redeem them on Garden Watchdog too.

just wanted to let you know about my order. It arrived last week and all the tubers look great. They even sent 3 bonus tubers. I'll be ordering from them again. Hope your order works out.

I just got my order a few minutes ago. The tubers all look solid and healthy....I can see the eyes on most without looking to hard. They are all labeled.

They sent extras plus a dahlia marking pencil.

Now if they all grow, I will be a happy gardener.
