this was more of a problem with the 1650 hosta collection.. god knows how much they can look alike ... i had a spreadsheet .. so i could put labels back .. as to attaching tags directly to a tree .. i use 2729 at the link ... been working on a box of 500 for years ... even if forgotten.. the tree will encapsulate the thin wire w/o damaging the tree.. unless some idiot comes along and tries to tear the wire out [been there.. did that .. ONCE .. lol] .. i place them on the north side of every tree.. so i can find them ... ken Here is a link that might be useful: 2729

Thanks for responding, Faron. The person mixing showed me the sheet, but I did not write it down and do not remember the colorants. A red, an umber/yellow and a brown, I believe. I'm having a terrible time trying to get the color right. I started out using C2 Pearl. I love it in the room I painted, but think it might be too white/stark/bright for my formal rooms. (The informal area I painted has light carpet, and the formal rooms have medium-tone oak hardwood, and the Pearl, I think, in these rather large areas, would be almost blindingly white). This painting is taking place in a home we're moving to. In our old house, we have white walls also, but a bit warmer. I always thought they were a true white, sort of a perfect balance between warm and cool, but C2-Pearl (which I though looked just like my walls when I saw it in the paint store) is lighter. I think the walls in my old house are closer to the C2 color called Cocoon. It is amazing to me that they are that dark, as Cocoon looked so yellow in the paint store next to some of the other whites. I also am considering C2's "Coconut" as an in-between option. Though in some lighting both Pearl and Coconut look like they may be too bright, and Cocoon seems a better match. While I love C2's colors, in the room I painted, I had trouble with ceiling flashing, (you may remember my posts on this). We finally hired a painter, and on various recommendations, I settled on using Evolution by Miller Paints (a Pacific Northwest local brand). So, I'm trying to get the colors right in one product (the Evolution) for the walls, we're using another Miller product on the ceilings, which yields a different shade than the Evolution even when the same color "recipe" is mixed-in (due to differences in the base and/or sheen, I suppose). To complicate matters, my painter wants to use Satin Impervo on the trim molding, and none of the standard BM colors work, so we're working on a custom color there also. Coordinating all three products is proving to be a challenge, especially since the walls being painted are currently done in a very yellow color, which is very distracting when viewing sample patches on the walls. I never knew that plain-old white could be so complicated! Seems like what looks like a match at the paint store, somehow looks different at home. Makes me wish I knew more about color mixing, as it seeems like if you knew how the colorants and the base interacted, and you had a starting-point color that you knew how it looked at home, you could, in theory, figure-out what to do to it to make it the right color. Does this sound crazy? Guess my head is spinning from too many trips to the paint store! What you've said has proved true in our experiments to-date. Adding white makes almost imperceptable changes, and going to a half-tint makes the pink flare-up. It seems that for some reason, the Miller products tend toward a cooler-"lemony" yellow tone to their off-whites, and C2 seems to have a range of lovely "warm-peachy" tones in their off-whites. When Miller attempts to go peachy, they skip over that, and end-up rosy pink. Any thoughts on that? Thanks for any advice--and I'll see if I can get the exact colorants, and report back.

sandiefl, yes, yes. I thought it was running up and down the stairs changing beds. But it has left me tired. oh my god, I'm so glad you posted this. I'll be sweating, then not even 3 minutes later, I'm cold. So I have blankets beside me and I'm constantly putting them over me then kickng them off. Did you have radiation? I thought it was the left over affects of the radiation. I'm going to my oncologist and breast surgeon on Aug 2 and 3. They are the best of the best. They are in NYC. I don't mean to say that every doctor in NYC is the best, but, really, these guys are the best. honestly. When I go in August, I will get it out of him. They seem not to want to tell you the symptoms. Did YOU feel that way? For me to tell my hubby "I feel tired", I FEEL TIRED. Remind me to tell you what he says. I'll kick his ass if he doesn't. lol.

Bumping because I don’t see it posted and want to see if it shows up.
