Hi Dave,
I would be keen to help with a dahlia forum.
Your comment about ghost fora is an apposite one, too many are started and die for lack of contribution and readers.
My observation is that we we put a few key-note articles on a forum, it continues to attract readers and comments, in the same way as shoppers find it offputting to shop in an empty store, or dine in an empty restaurant, but will be attracted to locations with life in them.
Perhaps we could contribute some articles here and earn a forum in the new year, rather than create more work for you and then establish that there is not much interest.
By the way, my photos are arriving on the site 90degrees turned right, and I am changing them before uploading them, hope they turn out OK. Any way here are a few.
Kind regards,
Peter
Newbie single dahlias, waiting to see if I get good tubers , have about four that came out somewhat like this, also checking whether this exists elsewhere. Working title Dahlia "Lavender Sun"
This is another newbie, working title Dahlia "Mookie", the flourescence is natural and odd, waiting to see how it winters. The plant was six feet tall and very floriferous.
These are the backs of some of the newbies, one parent Dahlia "Magenta Star", a Dahlia with a nice though I think a coarse coloured flower, and weak growth.
D.Magenta Star, the best selling dahlia in the UK a couple of years ago. No big deal imho, but a lovely colour.
