Wow! Simply stunning!! I just love the colors of Misty... and yours is quite a group of blooms! How wonderful to have such beauty right there in front of you, especially at this time of year!

I bought a Misty bulb last fall, and although it's a decent sized bulb, it never bloomed. It did grow nice leaves... and continues to do so... but it never flowered. I'm hopeful of blooms this next bloom season... but I'm still wondering why it didn't bloom after I bought it and potted it up, as most bulbs do. Coincidentally, Amputo didn't bloom for me, either... although, it has been growing nice leaves like Misty. I'm wondering if it's a "trumpet" thing, this reluctance to bloom?

Your bulbs must be extremely happy, Blanca! Gorgeous photos! Thank you for sharing them!

Beautiful, Blanca. My Misty bloomed at Christmas/Winter time. I love it. It made a nice seed parent and pollinator too!

Mike (?) Keep us posted. You probably should have soaked them in a systemic fungicide, but we'll see how this goes. I also have done this crude cuttage. You will need to moisten the medium a little, otherwise the bulbs will dry up. The baby bulb develops off the mother, and they use the bulb tissue as nurishment. You need to provide a little moisture to keep the mother bulb going! It's not too late to start with fresh medium and treat them with the fungicide. Better to do this now than to wait and lose them all to fungus!! Kristi

millworkman- The biggest concern is for horizontal or near horizontal surfaces, like curbs. I have one shower that has a track at the bottom for the sliding door. It rests on the curb in a bed of silicone but is only mechanically attached at each end with a clip that has a single stainless steel screw into the wall, and the screwholes and screws were are well-siliconed. The problem is that if you penetrate a water-proofed, horizontal surface, it has to remain perfectly caulked forever because water does not drain away quickly as it does on vertical surfaces. That is one of the reasons I prefer to see clips used only on wall surfaces, and to have the bottom edge of the glass siliconed to the floor/threshold.

Italian Sink Spread (7"3/4) & U.S. Faucet Spread (8") Compatibility?
Q
Comments (4)
If you are getting the Waterworks model you show where the faucets are not physically connected to one another or the spout, you could have a variety of spacings that are less than 200 mm, or a lot more. That is not the issue. The issue is whether the holes in the sink are larger than the shanks of the plumbing. (P.S.: 200 mm is actually equivalent to 7-7/8", so you would probably even be fine with U.S. brand faucets that have a fixed, 8" spacing, as long as the shanks were smaller than the sink holes.)

Oh, Blanca!

Misty is definitely one of my favorites.

I have Misty X Papilio, Misty X Exotic Star, Exotic Star X Misty seedlings as well as many other crosses with Misty. This year, I hope to cross Papilio X Misty.

Your pictures are fantastic and do these beautiful blooms the beautiful justice that they most definitely deserve.

Yummy!!!!

Oh my gosh...Thank you all!

I am in LA visiting my family, and it was a big surprise to see this post bumped up and enjoyed anew.

I left a lot of bulbs in bud or full bloom back home. I hope that they will be okay when I return on January 3rd. They seemed to know that I was abandoning them, and were not at all pleased with me. I collected pollen at 5 am before catching the airport shuttle. Yikes! The crazy things we do out of love for our bulbs.

I am trying to read all of your posts every day, but my mom is a bundle of energy and we have been constantly on the go. During the week before I left, there were a few posts that almost caused me to die from excessive laughter (especially the thread on certain surgical procedures). You all add so much cheer to my days for which I am very thankful.

I wish you all a joyous New Year!

With great fondness for each and every one of you,

Blanca

I'm glad this was bumped, too! I want to keep enjoying the photos, if not the real thing... but I have a feeling mine will finally show herself this coming summer!

I, too, am fond of our tightly knit little group... and I send my finest wishes out to you all for a safe and happy Holiday Season!
