Re: Dahlias

I have a lot of the smaller ones that can be started from seed and they 
don't have a lot of pedals.  Those are the ones I had trouble with last 
year.  This year, in anticipation of better success, I got some of the 
large fancy ones, some of which might have more pedals.  I hope this helps. 
 I don't know the specific names.

Which form of dahlia?  The more petals, the harder it will be to achieve
an open, perfect bud.
