Grandfather, Les Connell began flower farming in the late 1960s, he quickly developed a passion for dahlias and especially for creating new dahlia varieties. He passed in July of 2020 after over 50 years of being passionate about Dahlias and growing and creating new dahlia varieties. We are so thankful for the gift he was to our family as well as to the dahlia community all around the world. He will be missed.
