Sharon, as far as I know, there is no need to have more than one plant in order to produce seeds. Some milkweeds won't produce seeds until their second year.....perhaps that's where that idea came from? Yes, they need stratification. I've not propagated milkweed myself but from all that I've read, cuttings root very readily when basic accepted methods of asexual propagation are followed. In other words, do a bit of research.

My son and I were chased by a pair of geese when we happened top walk too close to their nest - they're as nasty as the swans and boy can they run fast. While DD was in college she went to our place in NE PA to study for finals. The house is in the middle of a large wooded lot and can't be seen from the road or by other homes. She heard a tapping on the glass and called me from her bedroom . She was quite frightened but told me she was going to peek out the window. It turned out to be a silly turkey tapping at his reflection.

No one has been rude. Your post was really hard to follow, and if you re-read, you'll probably see why. Some new people post questions here, but this is not customer service for Houzz. These are random internet folks (like me), or seasoned and knowledgeable professional designers (like Jan Moyer) or other type of professional in the construction/design trades. To whom are you posing your question? Do you know you can take your faucet into a Home Depot and ask them to get you a a small fitting that will allow you to use your different-sized pipes and still use your older faucet? Have you tried this?

I have no idea about this barnd but I have a acrylic shower base 16 yrs ols still looks like new , cleans up nicely . I do not actually like tiled showers so we have a really nice acrylic shower in our master and an acrylic tub/ shower in the main bath both 16 yrs old look like new . Both from Maax . The tub shower is used daily by students so gets lots of use .
