Ok, GW'ers must hear from you by Thursday if you want cuttings of my purple heart for postage. If I do not hear from anyone, they go to the compost pile. I have enough to fill a $4+ Priority Mail pkg; this is your chance to fill a spot in your shade/partial shade garden. Peggy

Lisa, This bloom is gorgeous and although may not be what was expected from previous cycles, it stands alone. It is a mix of Light levels/humidity/fertilizer's. I also feel that Ph plays a factor as Hyn mentions. With this Adenium sold as Purple Rain, there are quite a few different blooms sold under this name. Marie and I also have one purchased under same name, but are slightly different. With no official Registry for Adeniums this can happen. If you do not mind Lisa, I will post a Photo of mine to see what yours looked like in comparison. If you prefer it not in this thread, I will delete it. Rick

Wood hyacinths, Hyacinthoides species. These are often rather aggressive spreaders. The yellow flowering plant is cypress spurge, Euphorbia cyparissias.

First make sure the wall color is, in fact, the color of the swatch. Sometimes colors actually get mixed incorrectly. If that ended up happening here and your painter got the paint for you, you can have it repainted. However, I'm betting that's the right Accessible Beige and you did not realize how much yellow was within the white cabinets until your walls were painted. It goes great with your counters and backsplash, but your cabinets are fighting it For now, if your party is at night, maybe it won't show as much. You could also try to put in some retrofit LED cans that allow you to "color-adjust"...they sell them at Home Depot. After the party, however, if you repaint, first buy a sample pint of a new chosen color and paint a poster-board (2 coats). Then you can put color up on different walls at different times of day and get a better feel for what it will do with your cabinets/backsplash/etc. I never choose a paint color without a large poster-sized swatch because it reveals so much that a small swatch can't. Also, while SW has beautiful colors, I find that their neutrals (whites, off-whites and grays) tend to run warm. I have better luck with Benjamin Moore having more options and solutions to problems like yours.
