February Membership Meeting
Thursday, February 18, 2016 Dahlia 101 "How to make Cuttings"
Happy New Year Introductions! Our first meeting of the year will include a presentation of the new introduction dahlias for 2016. An "introduction" dahlia is one that was started from dahlia seed that was cross pollinated. The result is a new dahlia flower a grower found to be worthy of the years of care, testing, and scoring it takes to be an "official" dahlia of the American Dahlia Society. See a slide show of these new introductions and find out how to obtain them. Keep in mind that LIDS will have tubers available starting in April. What is your favorite dahlia?

LIDS member and photographer Ann Jacobsen dried the dahlias and arranged them for this stunning
photograph. Ann simply dries out a bouquet of dahlias that has sat in water for some time. Some cultivators
work better then others; she tosses the ones that shrivel up without keeping their color. The cultivars in this
bouquet are Bahama Mama, American Dream, Newaukum Honey, and
