I have one that I have had for several years, it is in full bloom right now, has about 25 blooms on it. It is in the greenhouse but never did anything until now I just thought it was something that took special conditions to bloom. I could email a picture to anyone that would like one. The blooms looks like good hummingbird flowers they are about a 2 inch long tube, they are yellowish green on the outside with a pale outlined maroon throat. Jerrie

This is an immature red-tail, probably a male (smaller in size).

sigh..I am a moron ! I was answering the question on Master bedroom and bath colors...posted it as a new thread . I apologized on her thread and then forgot to do the same on this one...I need to stay off the computer I guess. The colors are all from different sources: master bedroom upper and the foyer ( I thought the foyer was different but it isn't just the lighting makes it look different) is an American Tradition custom color and I could send you the formula. It is mixed in Base 2. The lower part of the wall is a Martin Senour paint: Tarragon in a deep base. The bathroom is also American Traditions Lancaster Peach and the ceiling is Honeysuckle. Sorry to be so confusing. If you are interested in swatches of the terra cotta colors ellen I would be glad to send them to you. c

I finally made the trip to view the slab in person. rhome you were right the photos do not do justice to the beauty of the stone. I signed off on the slabs so they will be on their way to Kingston for fabrication. Interesting, when you look at the slab full on and in real life there are no 'bad' spots. The spots that showed up in the original photos as the a big black splotch is just a lovely dark gray/purple vein. There is lots of movement and variation without it being heavy. I absolutely love it. It goes great with the rustic walnut stained porcelain tile and the dark stained wood. Just a couple of pics...of course neither one shows its beauty. I'm sure though that Bianco Romano lovers will totally understand my facination! Full Slab Face On: They were kind enough to pull the slab out so I could get a full photo of it. And just one more to show you a closer up view of a the white splotch area.
