The President's message:

September - It's show time!

On September on the 16th., we hosted our annual Rochester Dahlia Society's " Dahlia Show". It's the time of the year when dahlia growers from near and far come to show off the results of all their labor. We had an awesome showing of dahlias this year. The arrangements were beautiful and cute and the pictures that individuals entered were spectacular as well.

Angie did a fairy princess as the show piece this year with a dress out of white and cream colored dahlias. Picture of it below this message. Her group of tireless workers churned out dahlia arrangements all through the event. Those sold for $7.00 a piece. You couldn't find a piece as beautiful and inexpensive anywhere but our show.

If you visited, I'm sure you had a great experience and were in Awe, like I was at the amazing dahlias in the many different forms and color combinations. If you missed it then put September 15th, 2018 on your calendar as our show date for next year.

The best part for me is to see the faces of the growers as they stage each of their prize hopeful entries. And to hear the comments of the general public as they gaze across the many entrants in the show.

As I get more pictures, I will have them posted on our site, or you can go to our face book page and see them as well.

Good luck with those gardens and check out all the resources and links that are posted on this site for help with you dahlias. Feel free to drop us a note and send along pictures of your dahlias that you purchased at our sales. I always love to see other people's gardens. You can send them to either email at the bottom of this page.

That's all for now, off to tend to mine, giving them a well deserved watering.

Ken

Have a Safe and Happy start to our fall!
