: http://i240.photobucket.com/albums/f...ahlias%20etc/d ahliapoodles.jpg Very nice. I like it very much. My dad used to grow fowers the same (or similar) as those. He thought they were Chrysanthemums, and used to cover the flower heads with a bag on each. Always had earwigs in them, but big flower heads. His Dahlias used to have pointed petals, not nearly as prety as (what he thought were) Chrysanthemums. I am wondering if it is my memory, or did my dad get it wrong, or both. Thanks Baz |
