Oh Melissa: I'm sorry for your losses. What a sad part of winter when it's all bleak and gray and then to loose those who have been part of our lives, I'm sorry.
Those dahlias you posted are lovely. I too have made myself into being a checker, once a month I go and look and make sure all is ok. I so look forward to playing in the dirt sooner than later. My brief forays weekly w some winter sowing or potting up geraniums is not quite meetings the need.
I can say they did get Belle of Barmera right last year, so I hold out a bit of hope for Burlesque. Hah. Will see soon enough.
