This BB C Red was outstanding the
first year but the second year we did
not like it as well. It had an excellent
first flush of blooms but then the next
flush was not as nice. We decided it
was one of those that had too many
blooms. We had not been growing
seedlings very long and decided not to
grow it the third year. Looking back,
that was a mistake as nice red cactus
dahlias are few and far between and
by controlling bush growth it would
have had excellent flowers all year
long.

This 2001 seedling should have been
kept, but we were too inexperienced to
recognize it's potential. Not only was it
a super nice color of Purple but it had
lots of petaloids. We thought petaloids
were a "major" fault. Now we know
better. Wish we could get this one
back.

This seedling pf Peach
Delight was a very nice
B sized, sharply formed
semi cactus. When we
dug the first year tuber
clump, there was only
one very small tuber that
did not keep. Lesson
learned: Peach Delight
has few tubers that do
not store well and so do
it's seedlings. Lost Angel.

This B C LB had form to die for on the
first year bush. Not real vigorous the
second year and did not have real nice
blooms, especially in the full sun. Kept
a little bit of stock if someone wants to
try it in a very cool climate under the
shade cloth. Sent some stock to
couple of growers. Have not heard
from them. .

Really nice seedling of Jessica, BB C

seedlings of Jessica do not have good
tubers. This one was lost after the first
year.
