We are open, so many emails about our riddle. Thank you all. I know a lot of you had fun and may have learned something. I really thought that someone would spill the beans. Glad they didn’t. Ridle me this. The big show was in this city in 2017 and again this year. Our website will open the time the song was written in 1969. The ADS National show in 2017 and this year is in Chicago. "25 or 6 to 4" is a song written by American musician Robert Lamm one of the founding members of the band Chicago It was recorded in August 1969 for their second album. Robert Lamm said the song is about trying to write a song in the middle of the night. The song's title is the time at which the song is set: 25 or 26 minutes before 4 a.m., phrased as, "twenty-five or [twenty-]six [minutes] to four [o’clock]," 3:34AM 3:35AM. We were giving you the specific time we were opening. I want to congratulate everyone who got the answer. There were more people than this who got it right. Not everyone left their Instagram name.

Dreaming of spring!!!! The website will start going dark on Friday. Until we open on Saturday. Ridle me this. The big show was in this city in 2017 and again this year. Our website will open the time the song was written in 1969. If you are wise enough to get the answer, please don’t post the answer. Send an email at [email protected] with the answer and your Instagram and or your Facebook name so I can tag you after we open. I will do this as long as no one posts the answer.

We are opening on Saturday 1/18. We are not telling the time. Watch our Instagram for a very hard riddle. We have seed for sale this year These seeds came from fully double dahlias grown in a plot with only fully double dahlias. Here is your chance at the dahlia lottery, possibly find that new introduction to name for a loved one. Feel free to post photos of your seedlings on our page. We would love to see your success. We usually have an 80% germination rate so we can’t guarantee all seeds will sprout. The seeds were pollinated by the bees, no telling what you’ll get. Seeds will ship with tuber orders. https://www.crazy4dahlias.com/dahlia-seeds
