I haven't really noticed a preference for any particular color, they like them all about equally. Ellen's Blue is worth your consideration, because it's a beautiful color and it makes so MANY blooms! Black Knight is beautiful, but it isn't nearly as floriferous. Royal Red is great, makes a lot of reddish purple blooms, but it gets HUGE! I love my White Profusion - it makes a continuing supply of white blooms, and I keep its size manageable by pruning it short every spring. I should have done the same thing with my Royal Red, maybe it wouldn't have gotten so out of control. Any you pick will be fine. MissSherry

Nicole, my favorite bird in the whole world!!! Nice shot. Everybody has nice pictures today!! Thanks for sharing them.

My husband has come home to stripped wallpaper and re-painted walls and never noticed, he has come home to a new entertainment center and never noticed, he has come home to a new table lamp and never noticed, he has come home to a complete set of new bedding and never noticed. You get the picture, although he probably wouldn't notice because he doesn't get it either. Maybe just fix the room for you and see if he even notices.

My opinion on Ruggable: my daughter bought one 18 mos ago (8x10/light gray). She has baby, toddler, dog and 2 messy, red wine spilling adults (lol) (oh, and sometimes messy me visiting). She has washed that rug countless times, both by spot cleaning and washing machine. It comes out great. I loved the idea of one myself but needed a 9x12 and at time they did not offer it. Now they do (you just have to check to see if your washer accommodates the size) & I bought a cream/white one. I LOVE it. Me and Messy Marvin here + 2 dogs and visiting grandkids, granddog, and messy adults have given my ruggable a workout. Spot cleaning for me has been a breeze-have not had to throw the entire thing in wash yet but I anticipate no problems based upon daughter's experience. (truly just about everything has been spilled, spewed, painted, chalked, thrown on these rugs and no problems washing clean, no staining). In case you are wondering about real life hard workout for this brand.
