I think mine is aconite. I prefer to call it Royal Purple rather than
Barney Purple. ;-) My first kid is thankfully out of it, but my second one
is just getting geared up for the big B, uggh.
Are there any pictures of aconite midgets or B s out there on any web sites?
(note no apostrophes)
Thanks
Mike
