Can Someone help me ID this Brugmansia for me Please
Comments (6)Does look like a frosty pink - one of the old stalwarts. But as jesus said, it could be any. I had a frosty pink years ago, and the blooms looked like that, kind of a "quilted" look. I always enjoyed it - and don't know why I don't have one now. It was always one of the most strongly scented brugs I had. Roses. Always smelled like roses to me. Thank you for the beautiful pics - I think I'll get one for myself. (Short/small brug, stays a manageable size.)...See MoreI have a vase I can not identify, can someone help me?
Comments (1)I'm not knowledgable, but it reminds me of an Orrefors vase I got in Sweden, where the Orrefors craftsmen will take vases that have an imperfection and etch a design to eliminate, incorporate, or otherwise hide the flaw. I'm sure I bought mine at the factory store, but it does not say Orrefors on the bottom. Yours is simply lovely, I'm sure you enjoy it!...See MoreCan Someone PLEASE Help Me With A Mock Up ?
Comments (32)Sometimes you can understand color relationships better by putting the samples together. If it doesn't work that way, it won't work on the house. Just be aware that colors get stronger and darker as the sample size gets larger and they change with horizontal vs vertical orientation to the light but not enough to overcome a poor color relationship. What I have very little confidence in is visualizing colors on a computer screen. It simply too inaccurate to be useful. I have always relied on taking color samples to the site or at least outdoors. I think focusing on color descriptions and computer mockups is a specious approach. Personally I think the dullness of most of these stain colors contrasted with the brightness of the white trim is distracting. I would wrap the corners with the shingles or at least paint the trim a more subdued color. Here is a house on the cape that takes advantage of a more subtle trim color and shingle shapes....See MoreCan someone help me ID this Haworthia #2?
Comments (13)Meh, I don't know lol It may be a hybrid of mirabilis and retusa. It can even be a cross between different mirabilis varieties. What it isn't is cooperi. Mirabilis tend to have slight bumps (tubercles) on the surface and the back of the leaves. Those that do have smooth surfaces tend to not have hairs on the leaf margins. Retusas tend to be very smooth and dark green in the shade and red when grown in the sun, except the nigra variety which sometimes has tubercles. Neither has hairs on the leaf margins. Or, more likely, it came down so far from a variety of different species that it will be impossible to ID it for sure. The bottom line is that, there is no short cut to growing it for several seasons and seeing how it behaves when it isn't etiolated, over-watered or over-fertilized. Then narrow down the possibilities further by finding out whether it clumps or not; further down to what time of the year it blooms (early or late in the growing season?). Then, test what it looks like when it gets full sun vs what it looks like in the shade (different ssps, vars and/or affs behave differently under different light, water, nutrient, temperature conditions). Even then, you may only be able to guess the parentage (i'm fairly sure it's a hybrid and that still may be wrong). If it was from an open-pollinated plant, you'll have to guess what could also be blooming at the same time. Haworthias are annoying like that. I personally think identification based on morphology is a lost cause. If anyone ever gets to mapping these genes, I bet we'll all be shocked....See Moremamapinky0
