Dahlias Gone Wild

Thanks to the previous owners of our house, we are rich with Dahlias!

With this warm weather, the flowers are really giving it a last hurrah.

There were so many last night, I made four arrangements for my house and gave six bouquets to my neighbors.  Wild!

The tough question now is which to save?  Dahlias hail from Mexico so in Minnesota we dig them up and overwinter them in sphagnum in a cool dark place.  I need to make room for vegetables next year so need to reduce the number of Dahlias from the twenty eight plants in my yard.  Which to choose - they are so beautiful!
