You can see now that the flowers are very pale and don't at all pea-like as red buds do, I think? Don't they look like apple blossoms - what in the rose family could they be?<BR/><BR/>I'm totally stumped with the purple one - it almost looks like something I know, but I can't come up with it. The individual flowers remind me of milkweed flowers when they're open. I think they're too small to be bluebells and I think forget-me-nots bloom singly and the foliage is different.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for some ideas!LauraHinNJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08329387562570495570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18784445.post-41640510164555686352007-04-19T21:20:00.000-05:002007-04-19T21:20:00.000-05:00I'm the plant dummy.
