I did actually save the tubers from those medium-sized pink ones as I liked the plants so much.
I'm going to pursue growing from seeds, Woofie.
Big coincidence: I have to see the accountant tomorrow and he's an avid annual gardener.
He raises all his plants from seed and each year has a great showing of large dahlias!
Even if he's too busy now (tax deadline coming up), I can talk to him in a couple of weeks.
