She did tell me all the names of the dahlias in the bouquet I went back and got today but do I remember them all? No... I am hoping this one is candy cane... another one was something about meat and ... oh dear, I will have to ask her again. These are her special front yard flowers. And then she gives an extra one if one is starting to get droopy. So because she was so nice to me I gave one of the big shaggy ones and another large flower to two college girls at the bus stop. As I walked away I heard one say to the other - well that made my day!! So worth it even though I was worried they might think I was silly to bother them.
oh, thank you so much. I enjoy these flowers at this time of year. wish I could share with you.
