Thanks for the welcome everyone.
Geof, no, I live in Utah. It is a 12 hour drive to the festival, but my twin brother lives very near there. I will get to see both. I planned on going last year, but it didn't work out with work and everything else going on. I am excited to go this year.
My Lady Darlene did not make through the winter of '14/'15 and have been looking for another one. I haven't been able to find one, so, if you know where I can get one please let me know. I would also like detailed instructions on how you overwinter your tubers. I just threw mine in boxes with perlite this year.
This is a picture of the little house. I am having such fun with it. These were taken before most of the dahlia's were flowering.
