Anyone feel like sharing their shopping list(s) for next years’ dahlias? Can you tell I’m obsessed? Maybe a little…
Interesting (though I didn’t notice till I made this list), the majority of what I’ve ordered is in my two “least favorite” colors-orange and yellow! Many of you changed my mind with your photos.

This is only what I’ve ordered from Swan Island and Cowlitz. I still have several I want from Accent, Homestead, Connells and Wynne’s. Where are all these going to fit?!?!?

If anyone has suggestions for must-haves, please feel free to suggest. I’ve made my picks from all of you who post your beautiful pictures!!!!

Reds: Envy (AA), Cheyenne (BB), Taratahi Ruby (WL)
Pinks: Bahama Mama (B), Mingus Toni (BB)-not true pinks, but blends in that family.
Purple/Dark Red/”Black”: Esmerelda (BB), Kenora Macab (B)
Oranges: Candlelight (B), Surprise (AA), Hollyhill Electra (A), Papa’s Benji (B), Woodland’s Wildthing (B)
Yellows: Cynthia Louise (A), Ferncliff Pride (A), Money Glory (WL), Wynn’s Conquistador (AA)

I still must have Hamari Accord, AC Garfield, Fidalgo Julie, Maniac, Pennhill Dark Monarch, and Bracken Lorelei. Oye-what an addiction!

ETA: Ick-did I actually type "Money GLory"? I meant MONET!
