Of all the types of flowers I'm excited to grow this year, I might be the most geeked over Dahlias.

Dahlias are ridiculously beautiful. They are huge. They are fluttery, buttery, delicious circles of love that bob in the wind. I have about 20 tubers stored in my basement as of right now (in a cardboard box, covered with potting soil), and 30 more on order: Rip City, Labyrinth, Cafe Au Lait and a Bridal Bouquet Mix from edenbros.com.

Feast your eyes on these beauties...
