There really isn't a classification by height, but the link below will take you to one site specializing in shorter dahlias. For short ones like the 12" goal you mention, I'd just stick with the annual dahlias you can find at the big stores Lowe's Home Depot etc. But for real excitement and variety, there's nothing like the 3-4-5+ footers. Enjoy your newfound love of dahlias. Here is a link that might be useful: Container sized dahlias

To answer OP's question, For the average, hobbyist, grower, does it really matter?, my opinion is no. Knowing the full family tree of the pepper you're growing, Kingdom: Plantae Phylum (Division): Magnoliophyta Class: Magnoliopsida Order: Solanales Family: Solanaceae Genus: Capsicum Species: annuum var. glabriusculum a waste of time along with knowing every Species. But knowing traits of the Species to help identify it, how many times does this forum get ID requests, a helpful tool, How Do I Identify The Species Of My Chile Plant?. I've been looking for a ID chart on leaf variance but can't find one, we all know the difference between Chinense & Annuum, don't we? NECM

Thank you all so much for the information. :) I don't think there were any built-ins as I've seen no evidence anywhere. The original owners removed a pair of doors between the parlor and what we call the living room and those doors are still in the basement as is any hardware they changed out over the years. So I think they would have left the built-ins if there were any. Also they raised 4 children to adulthood and lost a young daughter in the house so I'm sure they needed every bit of space they had! I've posted a few pics of the interior. If anyone is interested I can post more later. I kind of thought it was a bungalow/craftsmen. Thanks for helping me clear that up. I want to know as much as I can about the house, because this is my forever house. The gypsy has found her home at last! lol I love this house and am immensely enjoying learning her mysteries. I've posted a pic of a little white building we call the school house (original owner was a teacher and there is rumor that she held school there.)However, I wonder if it was a summer kitchen. It too has its own brick chimney with flue. Thanks again everyone! Have a great weekend! :)

No "jessyf", you guys haven't scared me off. Yes, I am well aware that most red wines go with red meats, and most white wines go with white meats/fish/seafood. Yeah, I'm still new to cooking with wines, but most of the ones I've tried out so far have been really awful, with an exception of a few. Sure, I might have my own tastes, but hopefully this will help narrow it down a little bit... 1) Looking for a dry / sweet red wine which won't be too tannic/sour when reduced into a sauce for a red meat dish. Specifically Italian/French RED wines... 2) Looking for a more full body/flavored WHITE wine. I've been using only Riesling so far (because it works well). I mainly do chicken dishes, and rarely any SEAFOOD, because family members are allergic to those things. 3) I am NOT looking for a white wine for FISH, other than Salmon. I have a different way of cooking fish, and various kinds (ocean fish only).
