My photo was taken when I lived near Makaha on Oahu Hawaii and I had grown
the plant. It won me a first place in the 1997 photo contest from the
American Dahlia Sosc. of which I'm not a member of and I run the
email list of over 475 users there.

So while I now live in a dasert area now, I still at lest read about the
dahlias.
Very nice.
