Re: I feel

you know Dean, sometimes I get hit with a sneeze episode, not sure what it is...but bottom line is I don't have near the sinus problems down here that I do in Canmore, where something irritates me for weeks every spring....incredible colors this spring, beyond our expectations, cheers

Nice Blue

Hi Dow. It's actually an Indigo Bush. The best way to tell the difference is to smell the flowers. Sages have a very intense minty fragrance. Also, Indigo's white branches are very characteristic. Cheers!
