If we did a trade...

15 years ago

and I sent you an unknown plant with purple flowers, it's called cranesbill. I just found out last night. We've been calling it "Aunt Dot" for years, since that was who the original plants came from.

Now that I think about it, I might still call it Aunt Dot.

But, the official name is cranesbill. I've sent it to 2 or 3 people, just can't remember who.

And that, my friends, is the rest of the story!

Off to finish my packing and then spend some quality time with the kids (cats)!

Dan, I like "Aunt Dot" too, sure sounds better then the real name, and it is nice that you have to think about her everytime you say it's "Aunt Dot"!!!

I just thought that was adorable when you said and this is 'Aunt Dot' telling the story in the other trade you posted...and I said ahhhh, how sweet!... See adorable!

Oh well,,,have a wonderful trip...tell Paula HI, and I said thanks for wanting to help out on my trade box...don't forget to tell her now, you hear?
