i don't know what they are?

My tubers are from dahlias that I grow. Some of these are from my own seedlings and the rest from named varieties I have bought and grown. I live in too cold a climate (this fall is an anomaly usually by 9/20 we have a hard frost) and they have to come out of the ground every year as our winters are too cold to safely stay in the ground.

I'm interested in seed collecting from the dahlias as they aren't true to the parents (seed or pollen) and you have a unique bloom in the end. And a bunch of tubers in the pile come from those new seedlings. I've been happy to see the tubers haven't been a stingy offering. And the bees evidently did a nice job dropping pollen on the right blooms as I had some pretties.

I've set up my blog to primarily follow that journey of saving seed and growing new dahlias amongst my named varieties. Maybe kind of boring to cover one family of flowers to some, but it's a place to leave my thoughts and photos on my journey of exploring.

I hope this answer helps! @microb

Thank you. Love Dahlias. Back in England my dad had a small nursery and grew dahlias with really large blooms, that was 65 years ago. Tried growing them here in Hawaii. We are at a cool elevation, they bloomed but did not do well. Will follow your story.

Thanks for checking in! When I have time this next week I'm thinking to do a review of the seedlings. Nothing fancy here and done more for the unsuspecting and excitement of waiting for something to bloom.

It's 31° right now and suppose to have snow overnight. Is your region of Hawaii too wet for the dahlias? I've never been to your area. I'd have to suspect it's lovely!
