I cannot control myself. Clearly. I am just a hobby grower. I don’t sell these, neither tubers nor flowers, and last year was my first year growing them. (CA 9B) Last year I grew about 40 plants in about 30-35 grow bags. With what I’ve ordered this year it’s looking like I’ll have about 75 plants this year, more if I divide my tuber clumps from last year 😅😅😅 I know I need to chill, dirt and irrigation isn’t cheap either… but I still can’t seem to stop ordering them! Here’s my newest order from tonight… I just wanted tartan, but got greedy😅 Any advice? Please help! 😅😫🤣

This is an automatic reminder regarding r/dahlias Rule 3:
When reasonable*, posters should make a good-faith effort to identify which variety/varieties are shown in their photo(s). If you don’t know for certain, please say so. Someone will usually know!
*Common-sense exceptions to this rule will be honored, such as if the photo does not contain a blossom, or if your photo contains large volumes (such as in wide field shots).
If you’ve already done this, thank you! No further action required.
If not, please add a reply to this comment and confirm if you know the name of your dahlia variety/varieties shown in the photo(s). Alternately, if you’re uncertain of the variety name(s), it’s ok to say that, too.

Sorry! There’s no cure 🤣🤩
Ok why is this actually a thing 🤣 it’ll be my first year growing from tubers and I have revisited my already-placed orders to fawn in excitement and also admit to myself “ok I really only needed ___ but oops they’re coming with friends!” Suddenly, there are 7 on the way and I still want to place two more once sales open for them and Spring is too far away SOS
