Alycia, you sure put in a lot of effort to get your garden to come together so nicely. Beautiful layout and lovely plants as well. Be sure to take a picture of your NOID's blooms this summer. It will put the final touch to the ID. Then be sure to ADD THE NAME TAGS. :) NOIDs add a touch of mystery to the garden, but you never know what to expect from them. Glad you have a good option for the ID.

Thank you, everyone! Seedlings are like waiting for Christmas to come. That first little Mardi Gras seedling bloom was followed by another tiny one with a much richer color and interesting shape like the parent blooms. It's like watching your kids grow and change as they get bigger. Laura, I'm thinking "Teaser" or "Austin Beauty" since Austin hasn't had any plumeria named after it, so far as I know. The blooms start nearly red and have now gone a lavender-y pink. They last a long time on the inflo and are starting to smell a little Dr. Pepperish.

Update on my double electric AR french door ovens: After less than a year with the ovens and suffering through a variety of problems, which were all addressed by AR in a somewhat timely fashion...my ovens were pulled out and replaced with new ones. All paid for by AR. We had a similar issue with the 50 amp v 60 amps. Their printed installation material says 50amps are needed but actually the company in an email to me said 60amps. Exhausted from the back and forth with the company, I ended up paying the electrician to come and change the breaker when the new ovens were installed. Anyway...here's the scoop. I've had the new ovens now for nearly a year and like them very much BUT they only seem to work when on the Convection setting. I cannot get a good bake on anything when using just Bake. Don't know why. I've come to terms with this; it's working for me. Warning: you canNOT change from Bake to Convection or vice a versa without the top element coming on and BURNING whatever you're baking. Essentially, when you change a setting, the oven thinks you're restarting and that super-hot top element comes on. So make a decision straight off on how you're baking and stick with it, otherwise if you change while baking all will be burnt. Trust me on this. Yes, the ovens are noisy. Yes, the French doors are wonderful. No, the knobs do not get hot. I have mine on for hours. I do have stone on the bottom racks this is a permanent feature. Yes, I rotate pans. A lot of info. Let me know if you have any other questions. Do I recommend? I need to think about that.

Nice. Not one of the menacing looking ones.
