Maybe the subject is into labor intensive groundcover and meant "Wedelia".

Don't break the tubers apart. Store them in a cool but not freezing basement away from the furnace. Don't allow them to go moldy or to dry out and shrivel(you may have to moisten them). Bushel baskets full of peat or wood shavings work good but so does shredded newspaper.

Pot calling the pot a pot?

Its spelled DAHLIA.

the best I had was in a store where I had picked up a pre packed Dahlia tuber....the girl at the checkout didn't have a price so called to the supervisor..."How much is this Delilah?"

Named after Anders Dahl, a Swedish botanist.

Yes, and the genus is mispronounced in common parlance but that's another story.
