This is called “it’s not goodbye it’s see you later”

Looking through last summers photos I found a few favorites from my dahlia breeding patch. I’m counting down the days until I see these beauties again, plus the other 400 varieties in the collection! Tomorrow is Discovering Dahlias official publication date and the chapter I’m most excited for you to read is the one on breeding/hybridizing. I’m hoping that it sparks a flurry of new varieties being bred in backyards, gardens and farms all over the world. Tomorrow we will also be restocking signed books with seeds (from my breeding patch) so if you missed out before, tomorrow’s your chance. We have a limited number so be sure to set a reminder for 8am PST to snag one. #discoveringdahlias
