Comments (17)Tiff..do you have a photo? According to Wiki, Syngonium is a genus of about 36 species..actually, I thought there were more, but who am I to argue w/Wiki. :) Charlie and Larry..you guys are too funny... :) Charlie, blame me? Al, Purple and Larry? lol.. One doesn't need their arm twisted adding more plants...we're all plant addicts, some more than others, probably need an intervention. One reason we stick together or joined GW in the first place. :) Summer...I agree, but one can find bargains on Ebay..lol. Especially smaller, seedlings. I got into Clivias a few years ago..Variegated..ended up ordering several from China.. 15-20.00 each. They were good-sized, 8-15" and semi-full. An Exotic Angel basket goes for 15-20.00, plus tax. A couple years ago Mealy found a way in and made homes on my Clivias. I was defeated..ended up in the trash. I now have two..or four if divided..A seedling and one sowed from seed 1982. The same applies to Orchids..starting out w/small specimens saves $. Thankfully, my Orchids didn't contract mealy, so they're fine. I guess, any one variety can be addicting. Think I have more succulents than tropicals. 15+ yrs ago, I never thought it'd possible. I didn't care much for succulents, but this was pre-internet..local stores had the same, old types....See MoreFell in love with marble - do I need an intervention?
Comments (2)I just got back from 7 weeks in Greece where marble is used everywhere! I really don't see what the issue is with us north americans thinking that marble is hard to live with. If you love it, use it!! It will be gorgeous for you and your guests. THere is a reason why hotels use it in their bathrooms....See MoreHow Low (Intervention) can I Go?
Comments (27)Gotcha :) I live in an c.1840 Greek Revival, and grew up in a house although it was new, was traditional plaster and solid doors. Houses I can afford of this type (usually Italianate and a bit newer) are in neighborhoods I don't like. Some because of amenities, and yeah, some because of safety. I did the marginal neighborhood thing when I was younger and now I feel too settled to do it again. I really don't like hollow core doors and drywall and other details of newer construction that are pretty much givens. Essentially I will consider certain aspects of this house a "blank slate" and do what I need to to make it comfy. Where I am now that involved taking out any newer trim and doors and replacing them with historical trim and custom historically accurate doors. This is not something most people who see it even notice, but they notice it "feels" better somehow. This kitchen is new enough and in good enough shape that I don't want to go gangbusters on it like usual. I am willing at this point to forego the qualities of an older house to stay in the neighborhood I want. Must be gettin old....See More- 9 years ago
