Anyone else growing dahlias?

I'm not much of a flower gardener, but to please my wife, I planted a modest flower garden this year with dahlias and lillies. Most of the lillies have been mercilessly attacked by mites, but I am very pleased with the dahlias. They just keep blooming and blooming, despite the heat. In fact, they seem to thrive in the heat. Not only that, but they don't require much water. Talk about beautiful flowers! I highly recommend them for easy growing, and despite what the growing instructions say, they do very well under shade/filtered light conditions.
