One of my favorite pieces of junk for my house
Comments (23)I don't read in the bathroom either, Marygail, but have heard the bathroom called "the reading room" for so long, that was my first thought when I saw it. I had hoped to be able to use it and a lot of my other old things, and I hate that it took so long, but circumstances didn't dictate until now. I haven't lived in a real house in many years. I have often said, I hope I live in a house again before I die....See MoreEvelyn, one of my favorite David Austin climbers
Comments (38)Thanks so much, jc. I hope your Evelyns continue to grow and bloom and please you in your garden. I have four, three of which are almost 18 years old and one that is almost 10 years old. They are all grafted on Dr Huey. Three came straight from Austin, and one was an Austin purchased locally. Evelyn can be a prima donna at times. One shoots up, no matter how hard I prune her, and has long gangly canes that are a challenge in our wind. None of my plants rebloom as much as I'd like (shade is a problem for three of them). I probably need to up the fertilizer. But E likes her sun and lots of water, too. I've seen the date stamps on my photos from last year, and some were blooming at this time in May. This year they all have quite a way to go. I think it will be early June before the big show begins. But then, we had a freak snow storm just one week ago which caused some damage. Yesterday, it was 85F and we had a BBQ. What a spring. Diane...See More[one of my] favorite rooms - Annie D
Comments (26)I just like how you left them without drapes or blinds. The only problem I have with my door windows is then at night it's a big dark black blob. But I posted on here for suggestions and the wreath idea emerged . . . My doors might as well be windows for how rarely they get opened in the winter. Although I do unfortunately have a tendency to burn things and they are adjacent to the kitchen so they do get opened on the odd occasion. When my mother lived here the blinds were almost always closed. One of my big changes was to keep them always open. Has made a big difference in the feel of the house, with at least some more natural light entering. We also eat in there a lot, unlike my parents who only dined in there on special occasions and used the table for "projects" at other times of the year. We shifted our "project" table into the family room so that we can "eat classy" in the dining room . . ....See MoreLady's Thumb, one of my favorite weeds
Comments (12)laceyvail is correct. The taxonomy of the entire Polygonaceae is a bit of a shape-shifting minefield! It has been in a state of flux for the last 25-30 years and I can't keep up with it. Endlessly confusing. 🥴 Generally, if you go with the genus you are most familiar with re: a specific plant, it is likely that it will at least be an accepted synonym. Case in point......Polygonum persicaria is an accepted synonym of Persicaria maculosa, aka lady's thumb....See Morejerijen
