I ordered two Nadine Jessie and two Teds Choice from Swan Island Dahlias and I have received them here in Pittsburgh. They look like very fine blue colour shades.

However I have had to change my travel plans and have to fly through Canada and England to get back to Ireland, and have checked customs regulations. I am not allowed to bring these tubers around like this so I am offering them to anybody on the Dahlia Forum on the good old mainland USA that wants them sent to them.

I don't know about addresses or what is normal, but let me know if you want them by tree mail, just your name for the draw from a hat, and I will notify everybody that writes and perhaps the winners will send me their address in due course. There will be four draws for one tuber each is the fairest way I guess.

I will put the names in a hat. No charge, postage will be covered by me, and let that be a lesson for me and a bit of luck for you.

Here are the dahlias:

Have a nice day

draw, not daw, sorry.
Peter

Peter that is so generous of you! A very kind offer.

You're very kind Jennifer, can I throw your name into the hat for the draw?

Peter

I'd be interested in Nadine Jesse, Peter. Thank you for your very kind and generous offer.

@Cantillon, Sure Peter, throw my name into the hat. I can always find somewhere to squeeze in one more dahlia. Either variety is fine. They are both lovely.

Sure will, I think I will hold the draw about second week of April when I am back in Pittsburgh, and leave them in a cool garage until then. I hope they will be fine, though temperature yoyos by thirty degrees in a few weeks here.

Kind regards,

Peter

Hi Arlene,

OK, will do.

Kind regards,

Peter

Thank you, Peter!

oh, please do count me in for the drawing! I am just getting started and want as many varieties as possible in my new beds.

I dug everything up last fall, as I wanted to amend and till the new beds - ahem, expansion was called for. Dahlias did well for me here in Upstate SC.

Tilling is on the schedule for today. Unfortunately my tiller spent a month in the shop last fall, so I couldn't prep the beds then.

Peter, please put my name in the hat. If I should happen to win, I will send you the tuber back next year.

What a generous offer! I'd love to be included in the drawing, Peter! And that is a great suggestion, Frank!

I'd also love to have my name tossed in also. Very, very generous offer! Thanks for even just the opportunity!

Thanks everybody for writing in, I will enter everybody in the draw and summarise next week so names can be checked.

Thanks Frank for your kind offer, but apparently I can't receive tubers unless they come with some licence, so I guess I can just wish you well. By the way , I read everything you write, great advice.

Kind regards to all,

Peter

Hi Peter! Do include me too in the draw! Would love to try Dahlias Thank you so much for your generous offer!

No problems tarev, very welcome,

Kind regards,

Peter

Thanks again Peter, for awhile, when I first saw the title of your thread, I thought somebody is speaking in our Filipino language Daw is an expression we frequently used. Nice timing for typo error. , plus I love Dahlias too.

Hi tarev,

In Ireland a "daw" is a fool, and I guess my fingers were typing what I was thinking about the situation I had put myself in.

Still it is a bit of fun,

Kind regards,

Peter

Daw in our language just means - it is said, or someone said, or is it

A very generous offer indeed! Am I too late to toss my name in the hat?

If I'm too late, no worries and thank you.
