If you are looking for unusual plants for your balcony, don't restrict yourself to only local nurseries. Check out on-line nurseries as well. My favorite local nurseries, including two Internet nurseries, in ranking order are: AnnieÂs Annuals I love Annie's. Located in Richmond, CA (northern California). Some of her plants can be purchased at Rogers Gardens or you can order on-line. She has a great catalog! Annie's Annuals Buena Creek Gardens They have some plants in the ground so that you can see what they look like as mature plants. Fantastic nursery and worth the drive. 418 Buena Creek Road San Marcos (760) 744-2810 Buena Creek Gardens Brita's Old Town Gardens 225 Main St. Seal Beach (562) 430-5019 Brita's Old Town Gardens RogerÂs Gardens They have all the big-box store plants and much, much more. They cater to Newport's wealthy and thus their prices are little higher. 2301 San Joaquin Hills Rd Corona Del Mar (949) 640-5800 Roger's Gardens World Wide Exotics Located out in the middle of no-where and they do business beneath a shade tent. They have many interesting plants. 11157 Orcas Ave Lake View Terrace (818) 890-1915 Open Wed-Sat 9:30-4:00 H&H Nursery They will have all your big-box store plants and much more. 6220 Lakewood Blvd Lakewood (562) 804-2513 H&H Nursery Epies By Pat This is a local on-line nursery. Epiphyllum are wonderful balcony plants. I've included a photo of one of mine. Epies By Pat Epiphyllum do well in hanging pots in a shaded area.

None of my larger Dahlias reach their advertised size because I never dis-bud. I've always preferred quantity of blooms rather than size. However, I was fascinated by a story I read (didn't see the photo) a couple years ago of a Sir Alf Ramsey dahlia that someone grew that supposedly was 17" in diameter. I bought a tuber this Spring but it rotted with all the wet weather we had. I may try again next year. Accent Dahlias has a picture of a Gitts Perfection that is in front of a tape measure pulled out to the 14" mark. It may appear to be larger than it really is since the tape measure is behind. Good luck and please post any photos.

I have had nothing but problems with my Bain Ultra jet tub. My tub would turn on randomly throughout the night, so I would be in bed and hear air rushing from the tub in the middle of the night. Within a year of installation the lights on the keypad stopped functioning. Called their customer service department and they will not honor their warranty. Apparently their electronics and keypads are poorly constructed. The Bain employee I spoke to suggested I replace the tub altogether.

Contact a design showroom and see if you can purchase only the LEGS........ https://www.diamondsofa.com/dolce Then go to a very good upholsterer in LA anc he can build. upholster the rest. Otherwise ? Nope. It's the legs that are key. But there's no need for a match, really. If you do something low and round..........
