I like that D. campanulata *very* much.

Oh now I prefer the excelsa, very pretty. David once sent me a HUGE
dahlia, (a Japanese name which I can't recall) It is fabulous very
'weird' and last for ages in a vase.

I think you mean Tsuki- ytori-no-shisha, White fimbriated Cactus.
It's strange, I've had what I was given to understand was D. Merkyii
but it never got over 18inches, I have just ordered seed to see the
difference as it is supposed to get to around 6ft, also seed of D.
merkyii white.
It would be interesting to try a FEW of your seed as well Janet.
Just wondering if you put a few drops of bleach in the water for cut
dahlias, and for other flowers as well?
