Its blue caterpillar beard: Maybe this could be my avatar?: Mike_in_chicago - Chicago, IL, Zone "5b"   Mimi  Supporting Member My Weather Posted on Saturday, May 26, 2007 - 07:28 pm EST :    Great shots!

I have a similar one...I'll have to check for fragrance. Sunnyday2day - Tanya-Michigan, Zone "5"   Loretta  Supporting Member Posted on Saturday, June 02, 2007 - 05:05 pm EST :    That is beautiful. That would be an interesting avatar. I need to reorder Crowned Heads from Iris City Gardens since the original was harassed by critters and I see they have DC. You sold me.
