Larry, The domain expired in early July. Since Rachel passed away in February, it's been difficult for us to get her accounts and stuff tranferred over to new ownership. But we are working on it, and we have had success with other things (such as getting control of the Violet Reflections Forum, and getting violetreflections.com back up & going when it expired in April) So, we will get Rachels Reflections back up as soon as we possibly can. --m3rma1d Violet Reflections/Rachel's Reflections Tech

Hi everyone and thank you! Sorry to just respond now. I still had to keep my job...lol! Pax...It's not that hard to post pics once I have my photbucket open. It's the choosing of which pics from the stored pics (gosh I don't know how many they are) in the camera that takes time. This Baby Doll was planted waaaayyyy to late in the season for Hadeco bulbs. That is the reason for the short scapes. The second scape it produced was 2" taller than the scape pictured above. It will definitely improve next season. I have right now other Hadeco bulbs, also planted late in the season, that are having a very hard time giving out any kind of growth, scapes or leaves. Poor Vesuvius produced a 2" scape followed by a 3"second scape and the third scape is now 4"tall...lol! I really do recomend planting Hadeco bulbs by December, the latest. Jodik...Isn't our 'mislabeled Rilona' a beauty? Funny how we end up with the same bulb instead of a Rilona. This could possibly be the growers fault. I can't remember if this bulb came with a growers tag. But the Clown that I bought from the same store had a Langeveld tag. Did yours had this tag? I have a very strong feeling that this is Trendsetter. My Trensetter did not bloom. :-( Soultan, did your Trendsetter flower yet?

How nice of Mr. Barnhoom!!!! Maria, I have been known to stagger the planting of new bulbs, but this has been due more to a matter of space requirements and time. They are correct that the longer you prolong planting, the more strength that the bulbs will lose. Please, don't just watch the bulb for new leaf or bud growth. Keep your eyes on the roots. If the roots completely dry and shrivel up, you will have difficulty with the bulbs' future health. Unfortunately, some arrive with only a few healthy roots. I plant those first. I'll chance losing a bloom before I'll chance losing the bulb, especially if I have paid a high price for the bulb or it's a new variety for me. The timing of blooms is no exact science. They are going to bloom when they are ready. Some will take longer to bloom than others whether you see the sign of the scape or not. I purchase new bulbs every year. Those will bloom before my older ones bloom. Typically, I rely on the new bulbs to bloom in December, January and Feb. The older bulbs that are brought into my protected patio/porch area (gets down to 40-50 degrees) will bloom in March, and the ones outside will usually bloom in April. Have FUN!

Oldbat2be, you're going to have to tell me what KAW means! It took me 2 days to figure that DH meant "dear husband" (well, I think so! I am French and after 17 years in this country, still a little slow with abbreviations!) When calling Kohler, I asked only for the key ring, but mentioned the lower flow. I was assuming it came from the clogged filter anyway, and got no other explanation from the customer service lady. This afternoon though, the flow, which had been greatly decreasing over the past 3 weeks, became a trickle. I couldn't wait for the key ring to get here any longer. I was able to unscrew the head without it, cleaned the filter (that wasn't bad at all) and put the head back together. Still a trickle. When my DH (!) came home, he unscrewed the top part of the head and found that the filter there was totally clogged with calcium. He cleaned it, and my faucet is now working like it did the first day! This is the busy part of the year for my business, I can't afford to have a non-functioning faucet. The top part was very tightly screwed on, he had to use a vice to unscrew it. I guess we'll have to clean both filters regularly! Seems like we are not that different: you walk the neighborhood and I make big batches of toffee to thank, not only my customers, but people who help me along the way! Let me know if you change your mind, I'll be happy to drop a box in the mail for you! I would never have taken the faucet head apart without your help (too pricey of a faucet to play around with it!) I, too, LOVE this faucet. A regular cleaning is a minor inconvenience! Waiting to hear about KAW! Many thanks again!
