Over 50,000 Varieties

dahlia-0004.jpg

A collarette dahlia in my garden ... floppy, fading, and gorgeous.

I actually gave up on this Slug Salad Bar last year.

Dug it up, but must have left a bit of tuber in the ground. It's now a volunteer in the hot peppers section of the garden.

(Actually, all sections of the garden are now the hot pepper section...)

Over 50,000 cultivated dahlia varieties have been introduced since the early 1800's, and this guy wants to name them all.
