What's your favorite scent in mauve roses?
Comments (17)People dislike Sterling Silver because it is usually a very weak and sickly plant that puts out few flowers. The flowers are gorgeous but you don't get many for all the work the plant requires. It was a breakthrough in rose colors when it came out so it's a pretty famous name, even indifferent gardeners know that name so people ask for it specifically and then it dies on them and then they think 'roses are too hard to grow'. Stainless Steel is an improved version, a bit healthier and more floriferous with the same color and scent. When I was the rose buyer at the local retail nursery there were a few roses that every customer knew the name of and would ask for and that I could have sold any number of: Peace, Mr. Lincoln, Tropicana, and Sterling Silver. I would carry the first two because they perform ok here but I refused to carry the last two because they don't grow well here and they turn people off of roses. Blue Girl too to a lesser extent, but same result for the gardener - won't grow. It's all marketing hype, just like everyone asks for Red Delicious apples and Concord grapes. neither of which grow well here, and there have been so many better varieties introduced since they came out. Big Purple for me was more of a dark pink. Excellent fragrance, but not purple. Fragrant Plum and Melody Parfumee are both real mauve color and very fragrant but it's been a long time since I've grown them. Barbra Streisand was a weak grower for me but performed beautifully when I gave it to a friend with better soil....See More"Fluff" post: describe your shower curtain
Comments (26)Glass door on separate shower in master bath, no shower in DD's old bath - just an antique footed tub with a hand shower. Downstairs tube has a shower and it has a cloth liner and the shower curtain is a white pique one from Matouk. I like very simple for shower curtains and it is always folded back unless drying. A curtain across the tub reminds me of Psycho!...See MoreFluff Post: what do you use to line your wastebaskets?
Comments (34)Several years ago I bought a wastebasket frame that attached to the inside of my kitchen sink cabinet that used the plastic grocery bags with handles that we brought home with our groceries. I loved it. But of course, now you can't get them at grocery stores in our area anymore. Can't even pay for them. You either buy a paper bag or a durable bag, or bring your own. I can buy bags made for that frame, but they are a bit expensive, so I took it down. I now use a 2 gallon round wastebasket under the sink and in both bathrooms. If I stretch them a bit, I can use the plastic bags we put produce in at the store. I also have purchased bags that I use when I'm out of produce bags. When I have to use the purchased bags, I am reminded that we don't eat enough roughage, LOL. The only other thing I use trash bags for is the Litter Robot. I have purchased special bags for it, but they're about 50 cents each! I now use cheap 13-gallon bags for the Robot. We have 6 cats and that's a lot of doo-dee. We would be spending a good portion of the day scooping were it not for the Robot. It was expensive, but well worth the cost in my opinion. Another opinion: Bruno is our most intelligent cat. I've trained him to jump through a hoop and I've thought it might be worth training him to use the toilet. Then he could teach the others, LOL....See MoreFluff post: do you use those Renuzit or Glade air freshener solids?
Comments (59)a whole lot of scented things bother me - physically. my sister uses the plug in scent things. everything she sends to me smells like it. If it's clothes, i have to wash them or hang them outside for several days. even non cloth things smell like it. I can't use (or be around where it is used) Windex or Lysol. I had to walk right back out of Target one day - as I walked in, I passed a check out lane where the clerk was cleaning her counter with Windex. I felt it instantly and left. I use to wear White Diamonds, then one day, I couldn't anymore - or even be around those who do. A girl in the office started using it and we had to ask her not to anymore at work. If caused my throat to close up. As did one of those 'hang in the car' things. I bought one for my car (yrs ago) with a coconut scent (which I like) but when I sat in my car reading the newspaper (outside the laundromat), my throat started closing up - it kept getting worse... and I was about to panic when i saw that thing (new) hanging on the mirror. Being the only thing new to me and my car, I took it off and threw it outside the car and left my car door open. It took a few minutes, but my throat began to release and I was ok. Never again! I buy scent free Kleenex (puffs) and detergent (Arm and Hammer). When i went to the laundromat, I had to use scent free dryer sheets - sometimes they were hard to find in stores around me. I'm very careful with cleaners, lotions, soaps, shampoo etc. In a way, it's a really a sad thing to be afflicted with... in another way, it's really a warning to us... a red flag to pay close attention to....See More- 8 years agolast modified: 8 years agoUser thanked littlebug zone 5 Missouri
