what a lovely birthday present...

I'd been out of town on business for a while, and when I came back for my bday all the blooms on my Chilly Willy had opened. These are my first blooms since I started collecting again!

Congrats Violetta, It looks like a very nice little plant. And also a very Happy Birthday to you.

Thanks Fred!

I had a brain fart - that's Loose Noodle, not Chilly Willy. D'oh.

Happy Birthday, Violetta.
How big is this lovely flower? It's hard to judge on the photo.
I love the soft lilac (violet) colors best of all and would like to get my hands on either a Loose Noodle or a Chilly Willy.
Who thinks up these nifty names, anyway?
Cheers for your birthday,
Krys

Both Loose Noodle and Chilly Willy are available from Violet Barn. Those pics are definitely of Loose Noodle, though.
