I have not checked in a long time. But you ever looked into irises? I grew them about twenty years ago. Prices can get very high. And most you can't eat.Seems like fig cutting prices but for tubers. Prices are all over the place. I need to find a fig cutting for dahlia tuber swap group

Only slightly, I’ve seen plenty of them listed on wholesale plant lists but I’m sure there’s another level to them.I have not checked in a long time. But you ever looked into irises? I grew them about twenty years ago. Prices can get very high. And most you can't eat.
Welp I’m hooked on dahlias so I’ll be diving into those this winter.

Figsee, I am friends with one of the largest dahlia growers in my area. I think she has 1800 of them. During her tuber sale, they are all sold out in 2 hours, so if you’re looking for something, lmk and I’ll introduce the two of you.
I recently visited her and took pics of one of the dahlia fields. If you want to see pics:

Hmm maybe I’ll take you up on that. As of now I don’t know what I’m looking for because I haven’t found a lot of good information. All I know is my wife and I prefer the ball style dahlias so it’s a whole new thing for me / us. All I know is we will be adding dahlias this spring.Figsee, I am friends with one of the largest dahlia growers in my area. I think she has 1800 of them.

Me! They do get quite expensive (especially the ‘unicorns’), but they’re so easy to propagate once you get a cutting or tuber! Let me know if you wanna trade any figs for dahlias in the spring––I’ll be rooting a ton of both all winter

Here is her dahlia farm page. It’s early, so they are still loading the varieties list. She said sign up your email, since her email people will be told first about the sale.
