The easiest way is to upload them to a holding place such as Flickr, then just copy the URL to here

you got it its a Dahlia I love them cos along with roses they were my dads favourite.

I now have loads some have new shoots and I am going to take cuttings.
Lay the tuber in a seed tray so the tip is showing ( hard to explain that bit ) when they shoot take a knife and cut them off ( dont tear it or break it off ) as low as you can, take off the bottom two leaves and you can put about five in a ten inch pot pop into a plastic bag and evey other day invert the bag. When big enough plant into the garden or large pots. Protect from frost. They will come up again and again.
