Thanks to the generosity of Willow who winged me another Dahlia Imperialis start, I am calling the official start of the 2008 Great Race International of the Dahlia Imperialis Girls (or Gang, if there are guys competing, like our original inspirational Dr. Don.)

I planted mine in the corner whiskey barrel again and plan to employ extraordinary tactics to get that sucker to bloom before frost! Kleig lights, heat lamps, maybe I'll build a Biosphere around it if I have to!

My thanks to Willow for allowing me to play again through your most generous sharing. The stage is set. Now all we need is some sun and temps above 50... and a little this, a little that.

Now- who will see see blooms before Jack Frost visits? Who is in?
