I have no idea what the rambler is, it was found at my grandparents place in Wellfleet, MA. The flowers all open a different color, and it was growing in more shade than sun! So far I have been unable to ID It, even with Dan Russo's help!

Thanks for posting your pics marybeth. Your colors are lovely! I wish I had flat ceilings so I could paint those. Wouldn't my dh be so happy with me having to pick out those colors too? LOL Why is decorating so hard for some of us? I'm so thankful for everyone's input. No decision made yet. I think I'll go back to saving the cash for the purchase first. I'll put off the decision a while longer, but you guys have really steered me in a great direction. At first I was thinking of a gray glossy tile, with a black liner and then black tile on the diagonal. I think now that would be way too dark. I'm going to look toward the creamy tones everyone has suggested. THANKS

Faron, I only take ibuprofen when I need it. Another thing she has me working on is moving the arm the "right" way - not popping my shoulder up toward my ear when reaching. Sounds like what your PT was teaching you! I occasionally wake up with the arm aching, but it's not bad. I stopped sleeping propped up a couple of weeks ago (stopped wearing the sling around the same time, too). There's one spot that is still really sore and gives me sharp pain if I reach forward, but it's getting better. I'm trying to use it as normally as possible and get out of the habit of holding it against me or doing things left handed that I would usually do right handed. D

Sorry about your Emanuelle! Here is mine flowering in summer. I got it as a mislabel three years ago and it looked a bit like yours then. It flowered but it didn't root and all leaves died shortly after emerging. It was then sitting without doing anything for about a year before it started growing roots and leaves. Now it is a healthy bulb with many offsets :-) I think there is hope for your bulb! My Caramel from RC opened yesterday and looks more orange. I'll post a picture tomorrow... Anja
