Abstract:

In the hills outside Asheville, North Carolina, Bob and Judy McLean cultivate six thousand dahlia flowers covering three acres of what they call, Poppins Posies. Originally cultivated by the Aztecs, dahlias are perennial mountain flowers that survive until frost. The McLeans have grown hybrids of dahlias and their garden is now a small family business.
