Hey that looks great! Is it propped/staked or standing on its' own? Survive? Starting to think that although this plant probably couldn't survive an explosion, it could just outgrow it! LOL! Been repotting today, including my Callisia (well, the Mama, anyway.) It's in a hanging pot, now. Just need to find one of the hanging things to attach to it, but ran out of energy & was too hot. Maybe tomorrow. Must b something about Callisias in the air today. Now I just need to cool off enough to bother showering & wash these DIRTY toes. My lawn looks nice too, if/when it rains. It's just not a soft grass. We go to the beach & nearby spring lake often enough to get some toe time, a trade I'm good with.

Beautiful pictures Kay. I'm a pink freak. Icy is really pretty. I definitely need to find Remembering Elizabeth. That's my daughter's name and I try to have some flowers with their names around. Where did you find it? I'm not able to post any pictures right now, but these are all true pinks in my garden. If you need a picture of anything, let me know and I'll post it later.

I've had better luck with finding a true pink by buying daylilies labeled as "rose pink". Michelle

mewr, I am biased. I sell Behr all day long, and have been doing so for the last 13 years, after a 4 decade career as a painting contractor ( I am 75, if you are wondering). I can only tell you that it is highly rated By Consumers Reports. I can also tell you I have used most of the Behr products on and in my own house and have never had a complaint. Most contractors have an understandable bias also. They are comfortable with the products they know, and brand names which customers know. I was the same way back in my contracting days. I knew the Ben Moore products and my customers recognition of the Moore name. One caution is to always be aware of what line of a name brand paint you or your contractor is using. All the majors make really crap lines for contractors doing "blow and go" production work, to really good products. Know which line to use. Go to the paint store and ask them to explain what you are buying. My "go to" paint for interior paint is Behr Premium Plus Ultra Matte, but then, I live in a sedate adult environment. Were I still raising a family, I would probably opt for eggshell for general use. I would spend the $5 or $6 extra dollars for Ultra over regular Premium Plus. It is an extremely dense, inherently mildew resistant, stain resistant, stain blocking, high adhesion paint, largely due to its "nano" technology. Behr introduces nano-ized zinc into the resin to make the paint film more dense. You might recall that zinc is toxic to plant life, which is what mildew and algae are. Although ALL Behr paints include a chemical mildecide also. All three of the Behr main lines are 100% acrylic based, and use strictly titanium oxide as their white pigment. The Ultra line runs in the low to mid $30's per gallon. The main reason to possibly go to the Marquee line is that it guaranteed one coat coverage if thew approved palette of colors is used. the one caveat is that the walls must be well sealed. Going over "contractors grade" paint won't do. The color would cover, but the sheen would be streaky in only one coat. The argument for Marquee is that one coat of a $40 per gallon paint is cheaper than two coats of a $30 paint, plus you save a lot of labor not having to go around twice. Finally, let me state that I am writing this from my home, after having worked all day. I get no bonus for giving out advice during my evenings, nor do I even own stock in Home Depot ( although the stock is flying high and I wish I had bought it 13 years ago when it was 30 something)!

For what it's worth, ever since I got the LiGi I'm not getting much leftover scent from any detergents -- even the ones I like. Yay for good rinsing, boo for lack of comfort scents. Exceptions are Persil Gel (that stuff could withstand a nuke) and a bit of Cheer. All Tide powder scents gone. In a way, this is a good thing. Once my supply of good smelling Tide is gone and I have to buy the crappy smelling stuff, hopefully it will rinse away and only the box has an unpleasant odor.
