Hello Dave,

I'm wondering if you stock a small decorative dahlia called D. Chinese
Lantern?  It's a favourite of mine and I lost it a few years ago over
winter. Before I try other stockists, I thought I'd check with you first.

AND I think they do Paypal, I got about 5 plants from them this year
then forgot I had them and left them in small posts by mistake behind
the greenhouse. Think I was as about to put them into huge pots when
somebody called and i left the stuff lying there.....

Did plant the poor things up after i remembered but too late, though
they haven't actually died.

They didn't have three of the ones in their list when i ordered them so
although they might say they stock stuff they seem to sell out quickly.
