Southern CA Tropical 'Fall Colors'
Comments (2)great pics. Unfortunately I dont have any colors to share yet. Some of the trees are changing colors, but nothing spectacular yet. My thanksgiving cactus is outside though and will probably put on a great show in a few weeks. Good luck!...See MoreWhere can I find a Kohler Stages on display in Southern CA?
Comments (9)Would it help to see a video of someone here? I got ours sight unseen. I taped the dimensions on the existing island prior to the tear out. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=knlltilfuIs...See MoreWhat color is MAC rose in southern CA?
Comments (7)I’m in So Cal, and my Madame Alfred Carrier doesn’t often show much pink. It sometimes shows a blush of pink upon first opening, but even in quite a bit of shade, it disappears VERY quickly. MAC’s blooms are a creamy white most of the time. I’d say the fleshy/pinkish blush is normally gone by day two, if it’s there in the first place. The blooms in the picture below are in lots of shade, since this is the very bottom of the plant. MAC has never read to me as a pink rose at all. Mine is a creamy, off-white color. The blooms in the most shade, AND those in the most sun are off white. I think MAC would be gorgeous growing up and into a tree. I hope MAC doesn’t smother your tree, since she’s so eager to grow. I’m trying to keep mine somewhat under control, size wise. She really likes to grow and bloom! MAC should do well for you. I think you should go for it! She’s certainly stolen my heart. I have a feeling she’ll steal yours, as well. Edited to add; I just found these last two pictures in a text message I had sent someone before our heatwave hit. As you know, we had cool, mild temps right up until it practically turned hot overnight. Even in the cooler weather, mine doesn’t exhibit much pink. Hope this helps:) Lisa...See MoreWhite or black windows for this remodel in Southern CA?
Comments (7)My opinion is that black windows on a White House (autocorrect seems to think I’m talking about the president’s residence) do seem to be everywhere and you will date your house since it is a current trend. However, if it’s a look you like, then maybe it will work for you long term. Your style of windows do not say “farmhouse” to me....See Moreccroulet
