A terrarium! Well that would be the perfect application for it. :) Ditto to the fast-spreading. I planted a small little piece of it at our other house. It swallowed that entire side of the house, and as far as I know is still going strong. Sounds like rosies may be sending you some, but if you need any more let me know. My aunt bought our house, so I still have access. I'm sure she wouldn't mind if I took some away. :p

Hi gang- I have several plants that are ready to take cuttings for exchange. I'd really love Axel Rose, if anyone has enough of her to share. Please check out my trade list. I'm not giving these out for postage at this time, maybe later.

You're so very welcome Leesa. The plants are doing great and look wonderful! Can't wait for these guys to change colors. They're simply beautiful, I'm so excited! Great trade, thank you so much! Suzanne

I want to find bedding and then a wall paint color that will be most successful with this fixed element in the room. Definitely find bedding then deal with the carpet/paint relationship. Because in context of the new bedding, the carpet color may shift yet again. The color of an element, like carpet, that changes its perceived hue under different light sources is called a metameric color. Some colors are more metameric than others. Colors can be engineered so they are less metameric, meaning they stay more constant light source to light source. Your carpet, apparently, is not one of those colors engineered for constancy. I think what you're wanting to know is what hue family your carpet belongs to. Because if you knew the hue family, then you could figure out what paint color to choose. The only way to know for real - like not by eyeballing and guessing - what hue family the carpet belongs to would be to measure it with a spectrophotometer that used a standard, balanced light source - like one that mimics daylight. But that wouldn't solve your problem or help in this case. Because the carpet color is super susceptible to shifting. Which is why I think you should choose your bedding and see how or if that influences the carpet color - and then take a look at paint colors. Luckily with bedding sets you can return what doesn't work. A lot easier than repainting.
