I love the three I have now, but no one can ever compare to my Russell. The newest one is an odd mix of ShihTzu, Chihuahua, Dachshund, and something I can't remember now. Got my very own Odie Dog. She bounces straight up and down just like Odie, is happy-go-lucky as Odie, but is, fortunately for me, just a tad smarter than Odie.
Lori, that photo of Nora's Thrill makes it look almost iridescent. Be interested to see a photo of it when it blooms for you.
