John Coykendall still lists it in the SSE Yearbook. He says: prolific half runner type, pods marked with purple, flowers are deep violet, excel. flavor fresh or canned, seeds white with black markings from C.C. Kiesling, AR

Always love when someone brings in that pop of silver color .. congrats to that homeowner for a nice colored palm :)

I cannot comment on the other products, but I have Vicostone Misterio in both of my remodeled bathrooms. It’s just my husband and I using them—very lightly. We “baby” these new bathrooms. Despite my diligence of wiping every tiny speck of water or anything else, my light Vicostone counters etch. Drives me nuts. I would have been happier with marble and accepting it as a fact of the natural material. I thought (most) Quartz was at least resistant to water spots/etching. Not this stuff. I cannot imagine what it would look like if my kids were still living at home and heavily using the counters and not wiping up after themselves. We have city water, and it’s considered relatively soft.

IMO you never buy slabs if you can’t see the actual slab going into your space .BTW IMO quartz is the worst counter in a kitchen I have no idea why people have moved to that material when there are so many beautiful real stones . Polished granite is close to bullet proof and you get to see the slabs that will go into your space As for pics in someone elses space thay are pretty close to useless when you are looking at shades of a color.
