I've had Carding Mill and it's not one of those cane-throwers and, as stated, is extremely good in the heat and the blooms are long-lasting, probably even more so with afternoon shade. I never noticed much fragrance but this rose has so many other good qualities, especially in hot climates, that it's worth growing. Having said all that, I got rid of mine because I discovered that I really don't care for apricot colored roses with the color scheme I currently have. But that's just me, and the color is in no way glaring or unattractive. Ingrid

Mocc, that someone was me . . . I organize all my photos by name. I create a folder directly on my external hard drive with the name of the hosta, then I add two subfolders under it. One for Photos and the other for Data File. Hehe . . . it goes on . . . under the subfolder Photos I then break it down by year . . . then under year I break it down by month . . . and then you finally are able to see thumbnails of actual picture files. Each picture file has three components in the name . . . where I acquired it from, date photo was taken, and the name of the hosta in the photo. To counteract this madness . . . I also keep a separate file folder with ALL pictures regardless of what they are . . . the only organization this folder gets is a subfolder for the year . . . I don't mix years. One folder serves to act as a catch all . . . the others as more of a database . . . I am not savvy with Microsoft Access so I cannot create a proper database like I would prefer. But my home grown method works for me . . . I certainly don't expect it to work for anyone else. This is the great thing about all the resources we have nowadays. There are a million different ways to reach the same goal. :) Ludi P.S. Make sure to post when Miss Elegans wakes up . . . I know your southern bells should be stirring soon, if not already.

Let's see if the link works this time. I am trying to sell this rocker and need some ideas for pricing. I was going to ask 75.00 but wonder if that is too much. It is 14 inches to the top of the seat and I think 34 to the top of the back. Thanks Susie Here is a link that might be useful:

The wall color is nice. The room needs a few things to pull it all together. For starters, a large area rug with perhaps a light neutral color. This would balance the somewhat jarringly high contrast of the light colored ceiling. You might consider different bedding. The upholstered headboard and frame are quite attractive. However, I don't think the bedding suits it very well. Perhaps for the bedding a pattern that incorporates the wall color, light neutrals, and an accent color would look very nice. A pair of comfy club chairs with an accent table between them would work very well in front of the window. Also, lamps on the bedside tables and large scale artwork on the walls could be added. I could go on but that's probably more than you wanted to hear. You have a nicely proportioned room with much potential. Have fun decorating.
