Very nice series Mike! Where did you get the Aussies? I bet they are adorable. I bet they're also a handful! Talk about high energy! I'd love to see some pics.
Thanks.

We got the Aussies (Miniature Aussies, actually) from a breeder in Fillmore, NY. They are some seriously crazy puppies, but having two of them lets them wear each other out. I put some pics up in the Pets thread.

These pretty blue flowers were everywhere in early April. I think they are from bulbs...but don't know what they're called. They apparently love their growing conditions! Spectacular! (Not forget-me-nots, bluebells or grape hyacinths...thought they might be windflowers, but a quick Google shows me no match. Anyone know?)

I should have included a close up with my request.....could be hepatica - but with this shot, you can see the leaves are not the same at all. Hmmmm......thanks for trying.

You're good. Only you could track down and identify a bulbous perennial from west Turkey! (Too bad Jeff is gone - I remember how much he loved flowers! ;) )

Thanks!!

I have them here too, though nothing like Highland Park yet. I've just been calling them "those pretty little blue flowers!" :lol: They were in a mixed bag of bulbs that we purchased from a friend a few years ago. It was a fundraiser for Cystic Fibrosis.
