Help ID'ing this blue/lavender flower
Comments (7)no scale... in adrian MI ... the annual i call the bachelor buttons... or corn flowers .. and they are just over an inch wide .. wiki says: Centaurea cyanus the perennial .. lol.. i call a perennial bachelor button ... but it is at least 2 inches wide ... i am sure the latin will come to me in a day or two ... if you buy the blue seed... which i did a decade ago [when i moved to this house] ... it reseeds tamely.. and the finches are entertaining.. watching them trying to land on them ... but over time.. the seed will denigrate.. so that though most are still blue.. you will have some white and purple ones ... an annual i have not been without.. for 35 years .. in the garden ... ken ps: i googled: perennial bachelor button.. i see it was consistent with their suggestion.. but i must have had it under some old name ..

Comments (44)I don't think it's the EASIEST, but middle-of-the-road decent. If you have cuttings, give it a go. See the link below to "Articles" on the Gold Coast Heritage Roses Group website. There are multiple articles on various methods. The big plant shown (above) growing under a tree is the first GramHat we planted here -- more than 20 years ago. For the first few years, we pruned it -- so it took on this nice bushy habit. Probably haven't pruned it now for a good 15 years, so it is - er -- enormous. This same plant is on a bit of a hill, and it has suckered to produce many other plants -- though we don't see GH sucker hugely, in other locations.

Comments (12)^ That still puts it on the owner to release the money, solely at their discretion. So the owner can refuse to pay for any little trivial reason at all. Like one stud that starts to warp slightly after the rain, or what have you. Or the owner could be out of contact for some emergency, or on the verge of divorce, or squished in an accident on the freeway-- anything can happen. If I were working on that framing crew, under those circumstances, I'd be worried about getting stiffed. Remember these are often pretty undercapitalized businesses, and workers who don't have much, if any, savings. For some, if they don't get paid, they have trouble making the truck payment, rent, or child support. That's a major reason why they work multiple jobs at once, since a schedule can get shifted or entirely derailed for a myriad of reasons. At any rate, a good contract spreads the risk among all the parties, so no one bears too much or too little risk. In this case, someone needs to spell out not only the pay schedule, but what "completed" means, in detail. This part, especially, gives me the heebie jeebies, as it is so very vague and subject to individual interpretation: "The contract doesn't specify how the percentage of work completed will be calculated. This SEEMS okay - I think that we can both tell much how work is completed versus how much is left, but is it okay?" A lawyer is going to approach this issue using boilerplate "trigger words" that have a wealth of case law and precedent behind them, such as "substantially complete," and "in a workmanlike manner." If you really want to dive into this topic, read the AIA boilerplate contract docs as a backgrounder, it will give you a decent understanding of the big issues. But do hire a lawyer. And make sure you have a plan in case you die during the job, not just life insurance, but someone knowledgeable who can jump in and write checks without too much delay....See MoreUuuugh!

Comments (21)@mgmum we as well have a cold room in the basement with a large deep freeze so that helps for us as well! I am glad to hear you love your galley.. it's starting to grow on me:) I could probably put a second entry for safety wise on the north wall of living room somehow, but literally it would not get used as not accessible or seen from front...I just don't see a good spot for one if you have a suggestion:)...See Morerobertz6
