We grew "Lundy Lane" and I found it to be a very lovely mostly-yellow Pernetiana. Its' foliage is a very light-medium green, and very attractive. One caveat: of all the Pernetiana roses I've grown it suffered the most badly from blackspot. I have an organic rose garden and never sprayed it with anything other than Cornell. It continued to bloom c. 3 weeks later in Autumn than my other Pernetiana roses, which also endeared it to me. For comparison, these are healthier Pernetiana roses for our area, near Oakland, California. I never needed to spray theses with anything: "Duquesa de Penaranda" the healthiest of all Pernetiana roses in our area. The climbing form is fantastic!!! "Soliel d'Or" "President Herbert Hoover" the most fragrant of the Pernetiana roses to my nose. "Gruss an Coberg" "Mari Dot" a fabulous Dot rose but very small on her own roots, I'd love it on rootstock. Luxrosa

I've grown Acalypha wilkesiana since I arived in Florida 25 years ago. They take full sun to 1/2 day shade. And yes, they can freeze back in tempatures that dip around 32 degrees. In south Florida, they can reach upwards of 15 foot. but here in St Pete, 6 foot is more like. I have several around my yard. My big red one - "Louisiana Red" stops traffic. The white one named "Java white" always gets an Wow! And don't forget about the chenille plant, it's in the same family, too. I think they're very easy to grow. If you can grow a hibiscus, you will not have any trouble growing one of these. Does anyone know the name of this one? http://community.webshots.com/photo/85749816/102335439FbLFIe Here is a link that might be useful: Louisana Red

This lamp is most likely one of the many versions of the popular Danish Modern/Mid Century Modern Tulip lamps. If you can find any identifying marks that allow you to link it to a specific designer then its value is generally much more than lamps without manufacturers mark. This version is not as ornate as many versions I have seen. Tulip lamp designs range from very simple to those featuring gracefully carved wood bases and ornate tulip shape glass globes. With proper research you may be able to identify the designer. Good luck in your search.

Hi Sue, I’ve only had mine for a year. It was a own root gallon size plant. There is a long growing season here in Georgia so roses put up really nice growth. She has stayed compact but she is still a baby. She has a pleasant round form. Relatively healthy. The blooms are a very pale yellow that do fade to white so if you want a more pure yellow I would look at the Poet’s Wife. Didn’t really detect much fragrance but again, a baby plant. First two pictures are the Poet’s Wife and third is Vanessa.
