Dahlias coming soon

Word on the street is that the empty field north of the Meriwether is soon going to be filled with dahlias. I hear that a flower-farming-friend of SWF developer Homer Williams is providing the dahlias.

Coincidentally, the Oregonian ran a dahlia-related story this morning: Decades of dahlias, which provides more information on the local dahlia-scene and an upcoming event:
