They are pretty and I am waiting on her to give me some when they are mature. ;) Not sure how I'll eat it since I've heard they are starchy if eaten fresh. Guess I try cooking them as suggested. The tree is about 10-12' tall and in full sun. She's had to apply supports to the tree since it always seems to want to fall over in a rainstorm.

Xuan, That's what I was thinking too, as Pen said, that the sprawler there is a Cleistocactus. Might be a Haageocereus or some sore of thickened Aporocactus, but I think it's a Cleisto. In the second photo, the plants on the left/right look like Notocactus, and maybe the one in the center is a Copiapoa (not sure, but for lack of another name). You'll want to put that pot in full sun, gradually.

maryl;The daylilies were packaged roots I got 2 years ago and planted.They have done real good. There was 3 roots to a package,and I must have bought two of them as I have 5 or 6 miunds of them.The stella;s I have were potted ones from wal mart. patricia43; Belinda IS in the ground.That is some of that rubber border stuff I have around it.My daughter pays some one to keep my grass cut,and I have to put a border around them so they don't get cut up with a weedeater. Carol,I have not seen Distant Drums show this much pink either,The bloons that opened today has very little pink and alot of the purple tint. Jean

I am a fabricator: IMHO a seam at the sink is a less than optimum choice particularly on quartz. Properly done a full size seam on quartz is "nearly invisible". nearly invisible means you would not notice it unless you specifically looked for it. such a seam requires that the seam edges be properly prepared in the fab shop (no chips and absolutely square 90 degree edges) and a vacuum tool with jacking mechanism is used to pull the seam edges together at install. unfortunately the vacuum tool for installation can't be used on the narrow rails in a seam at the sink situation. I also have a basic objection to putting seams in the busiest place in the entire kitchen. For me it is also objectionable to have the seam in the edge showing in the sink cutout. some fabricators sell the idea that sink seams are better because they're shorter but IMHO it is almost impossible to consistently get a "nearly invisible" seam on a sink rail. Fabricators like sink seams because it eliminates the risk of cracked sink rails which can be very expensive for the fabricator and can occur even if the fabricator and installers do everything right. To me this is a quality shortcut. I hate (really hate) cracked sink rails but they happen even with install crews like mine that have 30+ years of experience. the only time we recommend seamed sink rails is when the customers sink is a very large (typically 3 bowl) undermount that requires a cutout so large the sink run countertop becomes too fragile to transport and install.
