A Insightful chat into competitive dahlia growing with a relatively small amount of plants. Stephen's is a true wealth of knowledge and a generous one at that! A big thank you to him for coming on the podcast. 

Returning guest Graeme joins us for this episode. We dig deeper into his practices including some of his methods for avoiding rot during high rainfall and managing plants for exhibition.  A big thanks to Graeme for coming back and teaching us more!

With the beginnings of the Southern Hemisphere dahlia season, Caitlyn and Peter talk to Dahlia breeding guru Kristine Albrecht from Santa Cruz Dahlias. We discuss her beginnings in dahlias, her no till methods and her breeding goals for the future. Big thanks to Kristine for making the time to chat to us during her Autumn.

Bonus episode! with Jenny Parish from Country Dahlias. Was an honour  to talk to Jenny about her years growing, and supplying Australia with dahlia tubers as well as hearing more about her display garden she opens to the public every Autumn.  We thank Jenny for taking the time out of her day to talk to us. 

The tenth episode of the Quince Flowers Podcast. In this Episode Caitlyn and Peter reflect on what they have learnt from the podcast and what changes they are planning for next season. Our guest is Alf Hardingham from Glenmarc Dahlias. We discuss his early life as a cattle farmer, his start with plants and how he grows over four thousand dahlias a season. Alf has won Australia's Dahl medal, the Dahlia Society of Australia's highest honor, and it's easy to see why after hearing everything he has contributed to dahlias and the community.  Was an honour to chat with him. PS: their could possibly be a bonus episode in the works, so make sure you subscribe to the podcast to find out when it releases.  Thanks for listening!

A chat with Toowoomba Flower Exhibitor, Pam Armstrong. We discuss her start in the world of dahlias, how her patch has changed over the seasons and how she grows her blooms to exhibition standards. Lots of little bits of information in this one and Caitlyn and I both learnt a lot.  Enjoy, and thanks to Pam for joining us.
