A few days ago I potted my new dahlias from De Wilde and Geerlings. I'll keep them outside unless its freezing, so these can grow a little before I put them in the garden. In general the quality from Geerlings was a little better than from De Wilde, but two from Geerlings were very dry, especially 'Sandia Shomei'. I doubt that it will grow. My Kalinka in the greenhouse is almost ready for taking cuttings. Unfortunately I have outbreaks of spintmite and aphids in my crowded greenhouse, but Kalinka seems not affected. End of this week I expect to get my new dahlias from Latvia, and my wife is already complaining I ordered too much

Update: Sandia Shomei is making roots. No shoots yet, but I think it will be fine
