I found it easiest to go through that long double-spaced list and when I came across a subject that I always explore, I hover the mouse over the word and to the right it gives you the option to "follow". Click and then that will appear on a list at the top of the page. So I have an easy-to-scan list to locate the pages I want. It is not alphabetical, however. I opened a ticket to Houzz asking why the lists are not alphabetical. Maybe they will take the hint and make our lives a little easier!

Rose.....keeping you in my thoughts and prayers. Life is difficult at times. In 1994 both my kids called within a week of each other to tell me they were moving far away. DD was moving to Oahu and DS was moving to Tokyo. They left within a month of each other. It was so hard but knowing I had raised them to be independent adults helped. My son moved back to NYC in 2000 and DD moved back to California the year before. Then DS and wife moved back to Tokyo. We recently got together in Oahu for a week. It was so good to see him and to meet our granddaughter for the first time. Seeing DDIL again made me appreciate her even more. My grandson, whom I hadn't seen for a year, was a delight and we had so much fun. They are moving back to NYC within the next month or two. I am happy for me but sad for DDIL who has family in Japan but will be far away from both families in NYC. Life is filled with challenges and facing them will make us stronger, even though it is painful to endure. Look for the rainbow thru your tears.

Seems I should know what this is (but I don't)
Q

Well, as no one seems to know what this is and there have been some pretty wild suggestions, I'll go out on a limb with a wild suggestion of my own and say that I get a bit of a clematis hunch when I see this. And before you say 'But that looks othing like clematis!' I mean a seedling of a wild species. Over here we have Clematis vitalba as our self seeding native clematis. And the seedlings can look a bit like this. So how about the N American equivalent C virginiana? Anyone like to comment?

What do I do? I need advice from people who know lawns!

On the back of the bag of the turf builder, it said to do it once a week for 4 weeks. And it shows what the grass should be doing in each week. I got to application 3 and everything was fine. I stopped it there because then the heat came and turned everything yellow. In the picture, i applied turf builder to that area. It was great until it turned 90 and above for the weekend and it all turned yellow except for that one really green edge. I applied it there because the rest of that grass belongs to my neighbor. The watering schedule is sun, tues, and thursday at 6am for 10 minutes. The sprinklers are set up to cover the whole area that is my yard in the frpnt and back, so I can get an inch of water with those in 10 minutes. According to the landscaping company. But that just started this past sunday. A month ago i would do a spray with the hose every other day. I dont know how much i watered, but i would skip a few days after a rainy day. Maybe I watered too much. (-.-) The HOA landscapers are not optional for my neighborhood sadly. So i cannot control the mowing aspect of my lawn care, but I can control the water system and everything else.

How do I make Soft Chamois cabinets seem more white? What wall color?
Q
Comments (10)
Actually, I believe the undertone of Chamois is green. apple_pie_order_ is correct by saying the new bulbs will help. The one caveat is the new bulbs will, most likely, change the tone of other colors in the room as well. What else is going on in the kitchen? What did you paint the woodwork? Counters/tile/floor? They are all part of the mix. as lights colors can take on a neighboring influence…like the green trees outside or the Brazilian Cherry floor. Personally, the idea of Chamois on your cabinets sounds beautiful. I would continue using it, here and there; make it a dominate color.. B.M. silver chain looks beautiful with it, and if you continue to add more of the chamois…yum!

It looks to me like you posted these photos to two forums: perennials and "organizing the home". Your photos are lovely and I hope the well organized folks enjoy them as much as I.

Agree with Cakbu. Once you find the topic you enjoy, follow it and it will be right at the top under topics. Lovely pictures!!! I absolutely love the delphinium and poppy combo. By chance, do you know the poppy cultivar?

hmm I only see the topics that I am following when I am on a phone/tablet. On pc I have to search "Gardenweb perennials" to get to forums.'

Lovely pics though. :) Always interesting to see what other zones have blooming in tandem. Is that a bearded iris blooming with delphinium and poppy? My iris are done, poppies are blooming and delphs just starting. Of course, there is a bit of variation year to year.

Also love the delphinium and poppy combo but my poppies and delfs are never blooming simultaneously. They seem to just miss each other.

Do you know the name of the rose? I am a sucker for pink roses.

growgirl, the poppy is coral reef, enormously variable-everything from a pretty def. coral to the very palest pink-nice though.

cercis the rose is marguerite hilling a sport of nevada-one of the all time great single bloom roses.

Yep, along with Madame Gregoire Staechelin (aka Spanish Beauty) Nevada is Pedro Dot's greatest masterpiece. A galleon in full sail.

Have them both...and Margeurite Hilling also.

Have a huge fondness for Shepherd's Golden Wings - one of a smallish number of pimpinellifolia hybrids...and thosr small delights, Dainty Bess and Mrs Oakley Fisher (a single rose fanatic writes...)
