Wow Bill! Your Daisy Wilcox is amazing! Mine is growing nicely, but my Psycho's are HUGE now! Well huge for me having to grow them in a less than ideal environment! No flowers this summer but I will let one of them continue growing under my HPS light. Hi Plumygirl! So sorry this has happened to you, but if you got these from the vendor I am thinking you got them from, I have to say, I am not too terribly surprised. I only received cuttings from him once. One was an awesome 9 tip Celadine. I suspect it was one of those canopy cuttings based on how many tips it has, and how they are so close to each other. I also got 2 others but they were labeled as no I.D.s. They were all a gift from a very good friend of mine. Because I didn't pay for them, I really could't complain. I just feel really bad for call of you that did order from this vendor, and did not get what you paid for. I saw some posts from this person on Facebook proclaiming that they were selling people the correct trees, but I have a hard time believing it. I just hope your other cuttings ARE the cuttings you ordered. I also have to say that this is a really nice flower! Does it at least have a nice fragrance! Andrew

Hi again everybody, sorry for the delay-- I thought I had email notifications set up, but apparently not. Anyway, there's no real reason for wanting to grow a plant in my car. I suppose I just would like to see a bit of green in the corner of my eye when I'm driving. Aside from that, I've got an interest in exotic plants, and I know I'd need something pretty exotic to survive in an environment like this. I suppose I could grow it on the console between the two front seats. The dash just seemed like the best place, far as plant-growing real estate is concerned inside an economy car from the early nineties. I guess it's just the appeal of something so unusual as seeing a plant living inside a car in Texas. What I'd really like is to find something flowering. As much as I tend to avoid growing flowers for flowers, I think it'd be really cool to have a single flower growing in, say, an old glass Mexican soda bottle in my car.

Amazing! You all are such a treasure of information! Thank you! desertsteph- I DID see that floor on the cork floor thread & tried unsucessfully to find another picture. That one is rather dark. Their "planks" are placed a little close together, but that IS the look I'm seeking. Cork gets rave reviews from many, but if it fades, the contrast is lost. umm---more to think about. sombreuil mongrel- Mixed-media! Perfect term! I had NO IDEA about the subfloor requirements! Thank you! (It's encouraging to know that at least you've seen some "best ones"!) barthelemy- ooouuu! BEAU-TI-FUL! Another big thank you! I think all tile might be the best option. idrive65- You found the pic I've searched a month for! What a resource! That one looks like it's done in the basketweave pattern that sombreuil mongrel mentioned. It will be a big room, so there's lots of cleaning to consider. live_wire_oak- Another great post! I've only shopped one flooring store with my hair-brained idea, but the rep appeared very casual about the installation. This remodel is enough of a PIMA, I don't need more grief with a difficult installation & cruddy caulk! Thank you! So much to ponder! Thanks again!

Ill go back to what I said before, its really not an island for pendants. put two recessed lights there, if you decide later you are dying for pendants, they can easily be converted. About the breakfast nook/kitchen area. Do you have the table that goes there yet? if so what is the size of it, because that matters. they style of the table needs to match the style of the light This fixture for example has an down light as well as up light in the shades, very great for lighting up a room and a surface. https://www.overstock.com/Lighting-Ceiling-Fans/Livex-Lighting-Meridian-6-Light-Oatmeal-Drum-Shade-Pendant-Chandelier-24-dia.-x-24.5-54.5-adj.-h/25994116/product.html
