Comments (5)First, Pierre, this not Echeveria derenbergii http://www.smgrowers.com/products/plants/plantdisplay.asp?plant_id=538 It is Echeveria nodulosa, "Painted Echeveria". Next, the pups are too small to remove just yet. Once they grow so you've got an inch or two of stem to plant, just cut them close to the main stem with a sharp knife, allow to callous for a few days and plant.

Comments (16)Yes, dandelion wine is some powerful stuff. Funny story - the last time I made it (it was about 15 years ago), I asked my dad, who was visiting, if he wanted some. Yes, it was the well aged vintage LOL. It was as smooth as silk, if I do say so myself. He took a sip or twelve, grinned and said "My, doesn't that bring back memories!" Now I had never heard any of these so-called memories re: dandelion wine. Turns out his father (my grandfather) and his grandfather (my great-grandfather) made lots of it in the secret room in the basement during Prohibition. Of course, it was for medicinal purposes only :-) I always knew I inherited this cantankerous streak from somewhere in my gene pool, and now I know where it came from. In that same conversation, my father casually said "Oh, of course you know about Grandpa M getting arrested for..." Amazing how a few glasses of dandelion wine broadened my genealogical history :-)...See MoreEcheveria decora - long-legged beauty

Comments (47)If you focused on some greens and lots of whites in your furnishings and even some certain green on white, trellis prints in drapes or roman shades, over time, that will make your home look like a lovely garden. Than you can accent with the colors of your favorite flowers. You have a lovely home, you just have fun making it yours!! No one goes into the Forest and talks about removing all the trees and planting only bright annuals, that bloom for a few weeks. They marvel at the height and breadth of the trees! and may add some bulbs here and there where the sun allows. Bring is some brighter white lights in areas as you can and just love the fun you have doing soo. Such a work of many craftsmen is your home! It's done by humans, so flaws may show up. Some might bug you and other may not. As long as your warm in the winter and cool in the summer you have shelter, and thus time to go through phases of your home redecorating....See Moreparacelsus
