Thanks for the reply, I still got the notification after all this time. I never did get my sofa reupholstered but I guess this is a good reminder to get it done. I still like the style, and construction quality was solid so that should make it it worth doing. He made some great stuff. Thanks!

I love AR but don’t particularly care for bringing in controversial characters from other shows to the race. I’d rather see just average folks compete, not some narcissistic prime donnas with anger management issues. Full disclosure - I am obviously not a fan of BB .

Kristine mentions, above, that she had heard they (JP) had been sold to Weeks (in the past). hoovb's post (in the discussion started by Sara Ann) from 2013 referenced arsyankee.org, where an article about JP says: In 2007, when J & P appeared to be a financially sound business, Weeks contracted with J & P to produce rose plants for delivery to J & P in December 2009. However, due to its financial problems J & P was unable to take delivery, resulting in a $1.7 million dollar loss to Weeks. This may have distorted Weeks’ sales figures for 2009 and 2010, decreasing sales in 2009 and increasing sales in 2010 as Weeks attempted to sell the plants that J & P had been unable to accept. Weeks’ sale of these J & P rose plants may have led some to conclude, incorrectly, either that Weeks had purchased J & P or that J & P had been liquidated and Weeks had purchased their inventory.

nicholsworth - yes, I'm pretty sure it is the same plant... I have three planted together in a triangular grouping to fill in an area.... It was a couple of years ago that I separated the other sport (Blue Maui), but I think it was the same plant. Well, at that time I potted it and it did beautifully, made it through the winter... next summer I planted it in the ground and it didn't make it through the next winter. But that may have been for any number of reasons. So - I will try again. I haven't gone out to separate this new one yet either... its been too busy around here so far... but I will eventually.
