I think you're right, Lee! Although I don't see any of the typical violet leaves. BTW, your "alien" pics were awesome and hilarious, Lee!

This is the 2nd year I've had this blue bedder and it came back from the dead, so I'm guessing it's a perennial. LOL

Here's my Mealy Blue Sage and Coneflowers.

This is the native Basketflower...these came up and bloomed in large numbers in some areas this year. It's quite a sight to see along the roads.

If they succeed in destroying Cubits, it will cost them dearly. I personally can not tolerate being bullied.

Well, they've threatened Dave with a very expensive lawsuit that would cost him too much in time, privacy, not to mention money.... It's not worth the fight. IB is claiming he stole the codes, etc to start up Cubits

Any chance someone else can take over Cubits? That would put an end to it, I suppose. But there may not be anyone on Cubits with that kind of experience and resources, I guess. I will never go to DG again once this is over. This is the end for me...already made up my mind. I'll go elsewhere.

Their claim being that there has been theft could put anyone who took over Cubits in possession of stolen goods...if it coulf be proven....which anyone who knows of Dave and Trish knows that cannot be.
