    Got this at a local nursery yesterday. I have never seen one like it before. It is a double bloom.

    What a beauty! They remind me of the tiny double ones found in old gardens here, but they're either pink or blue.

    If I'd seen it I'd have bought it too. No way could I have left that little beauty at the nursery. :-D
