Pretty daylilies today! Love Rhinestone, and Sleigh Ride is beautiful, and lovely colors and doubling on Frances Joiner. I had to look for a fly :) Hate when this happens, I usually notice when I download pics from camera. The lily is pretty too. I think Muscadet is white, but I may be wrong. Happy 4th to you too!

yayagirl - you had to mention spiders! they seem to follow me around I swear. I am not fond of them :) Thanks Nancy :) LOL Chispa - I hope all is well. Can't wait to see pics of your house as you settle in (hint hint) :) Beaglesdoitbetter thanks for the info. I guess I will have to make sure DH knows it is delicate. He can be rough on things and he will be installing it.

Update: I found my bulb. It is a T4 CFL, 40W, 4100k, CRI>60 by Blue Planet. Assumingly, a 6500k bulb would give slightly higher numbers. Based on some quick measurements, the brightest spot is the middle of the side of the bulb. Which makes sense, because that is where there are the most coils/surface area. Here are my instantaneous DLI measurements with a bare bulb (at the middle of the side): 15.5 @ 3" 12 @ 5" 2.65 @ 10" And with a plastic tub as a 'reflector' (sorry my bulb didn't fit in any of my fixtures with reflectors): 19.75 @ 3" 15.5 @ 5" 4.8 @ 10" And just for curiousity's sake, bare bulb from the top (vertical above plant): 7 @ 3" Of course, the ideal location for your plant is where your reflector has focused the most of it's light. Summary: Plants at 5" away of a 40W CFL in a lamp with a reflector from sunrise to sunset is a DLI of about 10, which is like bright shade. Keep your plants close, as light intensity drops off quickly (with CFLs and all lights). Cheers!

Jules, there are quite a few threads here on solid surface, just do a search in the box of the bathrooms forum for Solid Surface and choose "in bathrooms." Look for some of the threads with more entries, even if they are old. We have been posting on a couple of threads about solid surfaces and what they are and aren't for years. It is a lot easier to direct people there than to go through the discussion all over again. "Kohler Choreograph?" is the title of one, and another says something about Solid Surface versus Onyx Collection versus some other ones.
