You're welcome, Natanya. I never grew your plant, but it reminded me of the blue shrimp plant I grew for a couple of years. I always wanted to call that one an origanum, but it is Cerinthe major 'Purpurascens.' It has similar drooping leaves and flowers. They're both cute. Marcia

I don't believe in buying new stuff like that just to sell a house, i.e.: design stuff but which you can't take with you. If you're going to spend $200 on a light, 1) you're not going to get anything great, so the improvement won't mean much in terms of selling; 2) wouldn't you be better off offering potential buyers a $200 credit toward buying those lights themselves? THAT would be much bigger toward selling. Point is, I wouldn't do either. You go and buy a new light, they buy the house, and replace the light for something they like and is in their taste. You offer them $200 toward lights they prefer, and you've just gone and spent $200 on a purchase they'd have made anyway themselves. Replacing lighting is not an expensive thing to do, not like knocking down walls or replacing kitchen cabinets, granite, putting in a new heating system, etc. It's the BIG costs that turn buyers off, not the little design things. And make sure the house is spotless. I think that's the other big factor. Better to invest that $200 in a really good cleaning company to come in and really detail the place, i.e.: baseboards, windows, dusting tops of doors, behind toilets, etc., etc. This post was edited by Tibbrix on Tue, Dec 23, 14 at 13:31

Yes, she talked about it a couple of weeks after her eviction. When Paul was in the house he said someone from this season would get a guest appearance on a soap. I guess a few have in the past. Well Amazing Race will sure test their relationship, can't be intimate like they were 24/7 on BB.

Dahlia. No question. They might recover but you've pulled off this year's growth and flowering stems. If there are no remaining eyes they might have trouble recovering.
