Joe caught the dahlia bug when he was young.
He began growing dahlias as a boy in Ohio
under his grandfathers tutelage.
Joe is a past President, the Education Chairman and also
the Show Chairman of the Greater St. Louis Dahlia Society.
Tom and Jenny are former St.Louis area
residents that now call Alabama home.
They also belong to the Alabama Dahlia Society.
They keep strong ties to the St.Louis Society though,
returning every year to show flowers in St. Louis.
Henry is one of the elder statesman and
pools of knowledge for the St. Louis Society.
Henry does a fantastic job with the location of the
dinner banquet and awards ceremony each year.
Ken has been a member for over 40 years,  although
he hasn't shown flowers in quite some time.
He now prefers to grow just for cut flowers for his home
and for friends so he can show off our favorite flower.
He raises about 30 plants a year in raised beds made
of recycled flower pots. Ken's trick for keeping the deer
out of his garden, fishing line. He strings it around the
garden. It's hard for the deer to see and it confuses
them, but it does not hurt them.
