The dahlia bug is genetic and can be passed
to younger generations. Brian is Joe Meyer's
son and his patch proves that one doesn't
need a large area to grow dahlias. He has a
15' X 15' raised bed. He only grows about 20
plants a year.
He is also the webmaster for the society.

Ken has been a member for over 40 years, although
he hasn't shown flowers in quite some time. He now
prefers to grow just for cut flower displays for his
home and for friends so he can show off our favorite
flower. He raises about 30 plants a year in raised
beds made of recycled flower pots.
Ken proves that you don't have to show flowers to
appreciate their striking beauty and variation.
