Hi, everyone, This heap big dummy bought the Penang Viola Pansy from Linda 5108 of Florida last summer. It's slowly growing, but no flowers yet. It does have plumeria leaves!!!!! lol No wonder I could never find it searching the web! lol If it ever flowers, I'll post pics of it. Since the majority have said it's a fake, now I can't wait to see what it actually is! lol Have a good night! Crafty

I used SenGuard by Cosentino. It's the only sealer (permeable) that my local marble and granite yard recommends for white marbles. It's about $200 a container, but that was enough to do my shower and the rest of the bathroom floor and still have some left over. It allegedly lasts 15 years without reapplying.

We started out with real but Dh came from a family that would get the "Charlie Brown" tree (five or six branches) and I came from a family that always had the "perfect" tree. My dad would remove branches from the bottom and drill holes in the trunk if need be to give the tree the perfect shape. Shopping for a tree with DH became a hassle. Sometimes I would have to go to several tree lots to find the one I wanted. Then came the 70's with the shag carpeting and I succumbed to the artificial because vacuuming needles in shag carpeting seemed an impossibility. It made tree time much more pleasant in our household, too. Then we moved to PA and right behind us was a tree farm. I put up the artificial in the family room early December and Christmas Eve when everyone was in bed, i snuck in a live tree for the living room, decorated it, and put some of Santa's presents under it. When DH went into the LR to turn on the Christmas music he said kids, come see what's in here. They were all surprised and later that day each one when asked separately what their favorite present was that year said the real tree. That became a tradition for many years. the artificial in the family room and the live one in the living room. At one point I had five trees. Now, I'm down to a table top, but it's a pretty big table top one and I'm happy with it. Everyone says how great a real one smells but to tell you the truth, I think it smells good for about a day, and then you don't smell anything anymore. Even when I bring in fresh greens it smells good for a very short period. Not worth all the extra trouble IMO.

I bought some epiphyllum cactus seeds from aliexpress and planted them right away. The seedlings came out fast---they did sprout BUT they are not epiphyllum cactus. They look totally different from what the epiphyllum seedlings are supposed to look like but the seeds I bought from Aliexpress look very similar to the real one. I contacted the seller asking her what was going on and I have pictures to prove it. she played dumb. At first, she gave me her email address and said ok . After I sent her those fake seedling pictures and what really seedling pictures, she never answered my email. So I gave her a bad review. The 1st picture shows what the real epi seedlings look like and the 2nd one is from the seeds I bought from Aliexpress, they all came out something else. No money back of course. It is not all about money, I spent time and passion on it. Just waste your time and money on this website.
