What plants do you have groups of?
Comments (17)I, too, have several collections within my collection. Sansevieria, Crassula, Kalanchoe, Senecio, Dischidia, Rhipsalis, Hoya, Ceropegia, Ficus, Begonia, Philodendron, Euphorbia, Epiphyllum, African violet, Homalomena, Dracaena, Hibiscus, Citrus, Aglaonema, Dieffenbachia, Aloe, Sedum, Passiflora, Nematanthus, Polyscias, Spathiphyllum, Schefflera, Cissus, Palms,(various) Syngonium, Aeschynanthus, Orchids, Raphidophora, Epipremnum, Acalypha, Calathea, Croton, Plectranthus, Anthurium, Streptocarpus, Tillandsias and other Bromeliads, Alocasia and Colocasia, Caladium, Peperomia, Aracauria, Ferns, (various) Asparagus, Brugmansias, and various single 'oddball' cacti, succulents, gesneriads and other tropicals. The diversity in many plant groups is amazing, with different foliage shapes and textures, variegation and or mottling, habit, etc...there's always something new!...See MoreMaybe OT - do you have more than one set of "everyday" glasses?
Comments (20)I moved to a smaller space recently (although the kitchen is actually bigger) so I did a lot of purging.. I allocated one top shelf for company casual 12 water glasses, 6 wine glasses and 6 martinis. I don't entertain as much anymore and that should be more than enough. I limited myself to a medium size bottom shelf for the regular everyday hodge-podge including plastic mobile versions for summer, etc. It has been more than enough and is probably half of what I used to have. As they break, I shouldn't have to replace for many years -- unless the hodge-podge randomness becomes unattractive and I feel a need to reset with a matched set. I've also noticed that newer dishwashers have smaller capacity, presumably from all the insulation keeping them quieter. So the glasses turn over more and do not get stored in the d/w for awhile -- reducing my need for even as many as I've got....See MoreDo you have more than one true 'love'?
Comments (18)Thanks everyone for your feedback and great advice! I am doing some of that already (shopping for both, scrapbooking/Pinterest/Houzz)so I guess I am on the right track. I will have stainless apppliance so that is a touch of gray. Unfortunately I don't have room for an island or a hutch. What I do know is that I am not a huge granite fan so that narrows things down a little. LOVE marble, but probably will go with a quartz. So this my thought process and the options I am considering: 1) Gray, maybe more like taupe or greige, cabs; white quartz counter - Misty Cararra, Torquay, Lagoon, Lyra; and a white or light bs. For example ... (I blame Michelle16 for this one! :)) or ... with ... 2) White cabs; gray counter - Caesartone Pebble; and ??? for bs (The gray and white lends itself nicely to pale blue - paint, bs, etc. While I like blues in my bedroom, I don't know that I want it in my kitchen, so I would need some other bs ideas) 3) White cabs; brown counter - Caesarstone Wild Rice; and ??? for bs (maybe this?) Not sure why those last few pics came out so small. Maybe a subliminal message that gray is the way to go :)...See MoreWhich hosta do you have more than one of?
Comments (30)The only hosta I intentionally have more than one of is So Sweet. Others I have duplicates of: Irish Luck, because I thought the other one was dead Bridegroom, same reason. Dancing Queen, same reason. "Big Blue" because I divided it. Blue Mouse Ears because Cleo (my dog) mauled it and Blue Cadet and I couldn't determine which pieces where which hosta when I repotted them. All of the above will go in one pot when I repot this spring. Night before Christmas because my neighbor gave me hers when she moved to assisted living. I'll keep both. I'm thinking of splitting my oldest So Sweet and will keep all three. It's in about the biggest pot I can handle and it aesthetically looks like it's too big for the pot. It does not have that nice round shape anymore. It did well, though. I bought another Minuteman because it was so gorgeous I couldn't resist. I had a smaller one and a Patriot. Not sure whether I will keep all three or not. I'll wait and see how they do. I still have two Frances Williams I intended to re-home. I think I will try them one more season and see if an acidic fertilizer will help their looks. bk...See MoreMarilyn Sue McClintock
