As I have promised a bit more pictures, and since I saved some money and have a new laptop I won't have to post pictures in several different posts. But I must say that the flower looks a bit odd, though for my eyes it looks like a pink one the camera captures it as a salmon pink than normal one. Which might be a mislabel then to the other colour version they had in sale. Oh my and the growing number of mislabels. Oh well its still adorable.

Very nice! They all look great. Lemon Frost grows like a weed for me...it's good for tucking here and there where just a little something is needed. It's a happy little plant... Wish RS would grow for me....it's so pretty and different but just doesn't like our climate. Neither does it's mama and I like her too....:( I met Delona a few times....she was from Nashville. The plant was the AHS convention gift hosta in 2012. My plant didn't make it but it was totally my fault. CC and LS are cuties! Thanks for sharing.... Enjoy!

I'm in zone 8A, inland SoCal. I also bought the 3-and-2 special from FLOR in late summer. So far, Buttercream, bright yellow, has had two very shapely blooms. Hello Sunshine has bloomed once, should be a white-pink blend. Crystal Palace hasn't bloomed yet, but it looks healthy and I'm sure will bloom eventually (all white). Unbridled has had a very nice white-yellow bloom. Deja Blu is dead - just withered away almost overnight a week or so ago. It was on the drip system, so I have no idea what happened - the winds? The late-season heat? I wonder if RIchard would replace it. How is FLOR about that sort of thing? Minifloras have great potential for patio gardening, which is most of what I do now. I can't wait to see how big these will get.

I see DigDoug did a drive by with his mad skills. Your cottage already has subtle craftsman touches so adding onto that theme and making them stand out will work well. I like the dark siding with white trim color scheme you picked. I am not 100% sure since I am looking at it through a monitor but it appears your roof is brown. If you need to replace the roof and want a gray colored house consider a charcoal colored roof. If you are not replacing the roof then stick to a green/olive or brown/tan color scheme. It doesn't mean you can't do gray but pick a warm gray with lots of brown and red in it. Same thing for the stone. I personally like the stone you have now and would work with it and spend the money on that portico/arbor and landscaping instead.
