| 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: https://www.dahlias.com/search... https://www.dahlias.com/tedsch... Have a nice day  Peter |

| @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 |

| 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. All gardeners live in beautiful places because they make them so. |

| What a generous offer! I'd love to be included in the drawing, Peter! And that is a great suggestion, Frank! Confidence is that feeling you have right before you do something really stupid. |
Name: Rob Duval Mason, New Hampshire (Zone 5b)         |
| I'd also love to have my name tossed in also. Very, very generous offer! Thanks for even just the opportunity! |
Name: Peter (Zone 9a) The only scarce resource is time Cantillon Mar 22, 2014 6:23 PM CST |
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 |

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. |
