I have all three of those (Sunset Celebration, Tahitian Sunset and Valencia). Valencia is my fav of the three, but it is slow to establish, as has been said. But once established, it has enormous very fragrant blooms of a really unique gold-peach color. It's also slow to repeat, but oh so worth the wait. Sunset Celebration is kinda blah, normal, as roses go. Nothing too exciting about it. Nice flower for cutting and it holds indoors. But not too much in the scent department. I tried to replace it once with a rose called Scent-sation, which is the same color but supposedly fragrant. NOT! Don't go there. Scent-sation is a disease magnet with much smaller flowers than Sunset Celebration and also, no fragrance in it that I can detect. Why someone had the nerve to call it "Scent-sation" is beyond me. Tahitian Sunset is also okay, but the form of the flower is a little loosey goosey for my taste (and actually I think they blow faster than Sunstruck flowers). Sunset Celebration has more hybrid tea-ish form, while Tahitian Sunset acts more like a floribunda. Tahitian Sunset is also a quick repeater, but I don't consider it a cutting rose for bouquets. It's more of a garden color splash, mostly orange. I haven't had terrible disease issues with any of the three, but I do spray reasonably regularly. Kathy

I agree with Elly and those of the Bird Forum, a Red-shouldered Hawk, adult. Luc

Some find it okay to take photos of private and or intimate moments and share them with family members. And, as here (and on other internet sites) to even share them with strangers. Others find the reasons for doing so elusive. You'd appear to be in the first group and I'm in the second. I'm not at all offended, just scratching my head. That's all.

Hi Terri! Waving at you from the PNW. You must be in a drier part if you seen colors other than grey in your sunsets. ;) What an awesome project to take on. And congrats on your upcoming door, too! If you really share my long overcast winters, I'd look for shades with some warmth to them...complex neutrals with red or green undertones; brighter shades that skew green; warm ivories or yellows. If there are a lot of trees out your window bank, keep in mind your natural light will have a greenish tint (amount will vary seasonally depending on evergreen vs leafing). I know it's harder to answer with a lot of new staff coming in, but in general do your folks need more of a place to destress (so, spa-esque colors) or to revitalize (so, high-energy shades)? ** CALMING ** I think a lot of the usual green-grey-blue suspects you see on the GW forums would be a good place to start. I'd just make sure they didn't skew too blue in your space (test test test...no pun intended!). So: Sea Salt; Rainwashed I'm going to put in a plug for an oldie but oft-goodie that's having a resurgence: Halycon Green (column 1, row 2 below). Looks great with walnut shades, great backdrop for photos and art, underused as a LR/DR color. Basically if you test lighter greenish grey and think, "I mean it's pretty, but kind of meh...." you may love the medium depth of this one. ** VIBRANT ** I have to say if a room can handle it, I love a deep teal to revive without the overstimulation that orange, bright leaf greens, and bright yellows can bring about. Also awesome with browns. SW has a ton of turquoise/teal colors but take a look at Oceanside (center image) and then nose around your fan deck. Here's the SW link to these SW/West Elm collab images ** WARMING ** Lastly for now, I wanted to put a spotlight on one of my favorite creamy yellows, Ivoire (top right). Inviting Ivory is similar.[The deeper "Blonde" is a great mellow old-gold shade, too.] At least in my part of the PNW, people LOVE those 2 shades. Even the non-yellow-lovers, ha. They're pretty flexible, so you could likely use either of them as your accent wall/office shade. Or you could consider making them/something similar your main shade and accent with the aquas, teals, etc as they've shown below with Hazel and the muted teal, Underseas ETA: Here is Blonde throughout a home that's very inviting (and has lots of dark brown accents) One shot:
