A wet garden and Mimulus cardinalis--Has anyone grown this?
Comments (24)Wow. Long time no see on that thread. Thanks for dredging it up. The Mimulus cardinalis is a sad story. I planted three of them in the fall of '05, and they just never took. I could tell they weren't settling in, and then the cold weather came and I had a bad feeling about them. Spring of '06 came and they did not survive. I called Joy Creek, and told them the sad story. I said it might have been too late in the year to successfully plant them. They very kindly agreed to send 3 replacement plants, and I put them in immediately. They settled in nicely, putting out new growth and I was feeling very hopeful about them. That summer, misfortune struck. We had workmen redo our front sidewalk. There were 4 or 5 guys, very nice fellows, but pretty clueless about plants. I pointed to the Mimulus and made sure to tell at least one of the workmen to please be very careful not to trample them. I'm sure you can tell where this sad story is leading. I went inside for a bit, and when I came out, all three plants were ground down to mush. They never recovered and this time I knew there wouldn't be any free replacements. Maybe I'll try to order some more this spring and try again. They really had been settling in quite nicely, and I could have just died when they got stomped. I should have told all of the workmen, not just one guy. What a disappointment. I wish you luck with them, flutterbug, and thanks for resurrecting this old thread. I'll let you know if I decide to try again....See Moreanyone designed a 'wet area' ?
Comments (5)I have spend the past five years working on, designing and constructing Wet Rooms here in Vancouver. I have used Ditra on many of these showers and it's only in the past couple years that I have found out that premium non-modified thin sets can not be used with Ditra without canceling out the warranty of the product. Once I learned this I switched to other products. Make sure you check into this before designing your wet room. Good luck....See MoreWet Bar for MIL/Guest Suite - Anyone Have One?
Comments (10)Pam...where we're you when we spent weeks on end in hospital with our baby? Waaaaaa Anyhoo, I don't have a pic but we stayed in a hotel in Houston (while at hospital there lol) that was basically the set up geokid shared, only that was built into an alcove with doors that looked like a large amoire. I plan on doing the same in our master suite. For our guest suites we have an old side board that holds a kurig and all of the necessary items for coffee and tea in the center hall on the fourth floor because I hate to see guests hike down to the main floor for a cup of coffee. But given your proposed use, and having spent a few years doing the hospital thing I would say that adding the fridge and microwave would be a really special thing for your guests. No matter how nice you are or your guests are, sometimes the hospital stuff is overwhelming and you just want some private space to be alone with a nice glass of wine or cup of tea to sit and process it all. I'm off on my soap box but if you could just picture the above duplicated into an alcove with beautiful amoire style doors closing it off from the room...you would have a perfect accompaniment to your restful guest suite. And on behalf of your guests...thank you. You don't know how many will never forget what you are doing for them...even if they are too overwhelmed to say so at the time....See Morecan anyone recommend a good “wet look” sealer?
