Identifying wild blueberries in SC
Comments (5)It is difficult to identify your 'blueberry' without seeing it. Suggest that you place a call to one of the Carolina's native plant and plant hunter experts, Bob McCartney at Woodlander's Nursery in Aiken, SC. He should be able to help you and may even be interested in your discovery. Nursery phone number is 803-648-7522....See MoreAnybody's Kerris going Wild???
Comments (4)Thanks everybody, it's interesting, semi-bizarre monster indeed. Here's what it looks like now. Sorry for dark silhouette, but it was too dark or such bright glare, impossible to see. The new growth is up on top, the climbing part. Such cool, large leaves & their surprise This is the only Hoya I've ever bloomed from scratch, so I'm extra thrilled. Here's hoping the rest of mine are paying attention! It's really inspiring to see so many folks' plants & their spectacular blooms.

Comments (47)Hi oldbat2b and others, Thanks for your continued interest - Yes! I did go with this stone, though two different slabs from the same block. They are in and they are gorgeous.

It also helps that the accent colour, throughout my very open house, is blue. Even my skeptical husband likes it. I am almost ready to post my finished kitchen and will do so when I have the time to put it all together. Here is a sneak peak so you can see the counters. Note the bookmatched back splash - it looks like the bare winter trees against the ocean. Carol...See MoreGogan granite - too wild or too wonderful?!
Comments (24)The quartz and acrylic products are quite a bit more practical I disagree. Some granites are every bit as practical as engineered stone (aka quartz) and more practical than acrylic. Ours has been a dream to live with. It is the easiest counter to clean that I've ever had even if someone doesn't notice a spill and it dries on. I roll dough directly on it and my dough scraper doesn't scratch it. Granites can be harder to chose because the stone with the same name can vary quite a lot. (Even with some of the engineered stone you may want to approve your slabs because of color variations.) And "granite" as the stone business uses it includes a lot of types of stone such as my Azul Do Mar which is really a quartzite....See Morekarin_mt
