HI DAVE!

I AM IN LOVE WITH THIS PHOTO. THE FORGET-ME-NOT HAS ALWAYS BROUGHT BACK MEMORIES OF YESTERYEAR. GROWING UP IN THE LARGEST CITY IN GERMANY, MY GRANDMOTHER USED TO TAKE ME INTO THE FIELDS IN SPRING TO PICK BOUQUETS OF THESE AS WELL AS LILY-OF-THE-VALLEYS. WHAT'S YOUR FIRST MEMORY OF THE FORGET-ME-NOT; BET YOU REMEMBER!

RECENTLY I READ THAT NO OTHER FLOWER IN THE WORLD HAS THIS DISTINCT KIND OF BLUE. IS THAT TRUE?

THANX TO THIS PHOTO, I JUST MENTALLY "RE-ARRANGED" NEXT YEARS SPRING GARDEN. HOPE TO HAVE PIX TO SEND THEN. THANK-YOU, ROBIN
