Aren't I Pretty Daylilies (know this company?)
Comments (13)I've ordered from them twice without any problems (no wrong plants) and have a third order coming this year. Like everyone else says, they are very nice to do business with. My experience has usually been that most sellers are horrified when they make a mistake...but mistakes can happen. Most, will replace the plant, especially if you send them a picture of what you received, without any problem. It can be like a 'Bank Error in Your Favor'...as I like to say! Sometimes, though, they may be sold out or the plant is no longer available...in which case, they would either send your money back, give you a credit or let you choose something else. Far and away, most daylily sellers are wonderful people to deal with. Another good seller that is on another thread is Patron Gardens. Once, one of my plants was forgotten (left out of the box) and I simply called...the plant was sent along with another bonus plant (which was a really cute daylily). When I had one die (an expensive one), they refunded my money promptly. You can't beat that. I have a situation this year that will probably test all this. A seller I bought a plant from...two years ago...I think sent me a mixed up plant. The plant did not bloom the first year and last year, when it bloomed...it was like close, but not the cultivar. I know, because I saw the plant in several gardens and there were distinct differences from mine. Anyway, I'm waiting until this year and hope to get a good picture of it and start a conversation with the seller (off the LA)...we shall see. In some of those cases, it can turn out that the seller thought they had the correct plant...That's why it is a good thing to establish relationships with the people you buy from (not always possible)...There is a degree of trust that builds and they view you as a friend, too. In this case, I think I only bought the one year from this seller, so I'll just see what happens. Oh yeah. Always ask for blooming size fans. That's what the best sellers send, anyway...but not everyone does. That way, you have a pretty good chance of first year blooms. There will still be some that might not (depending where they came from and where they were in their cycle of growth when dug up and sent to you), but most will...if you get blooming size fans. I have learned this the hard way! Do not assume, especially on the LA, that everyone sells blooming size fans. If it doesn't say, ask...unless you have gotten to know the seller well and have that trust I mentioned earlier. Good luck and happy buying!...See Morenew birds n plates to decorate with
Comments (17)NO recipes!! LOL. That guinea hen sounds like a keeper if she eats those nasty ticks! I thought guineas were a lot smaller, or is it just the photo that makes her look big? Luvs, did you spray the little off-white tinted birds that were at DT recently? Or some other ones they've had? I haven't re-painted any, tho often 'gloss' some up to make them look better, like I did with those cardinals we found last Fall. I have two real bird nests I'd LOVE to use. Thanks to windstorms last year. They are fairly large tho, and really wonderful! Birds amaze me. But if I use them, they've got to be up high somewhere as I have a feeling the cats would go nuts. Especially "Trouble", he'd have a blast disassembling a real nest. I have to admit, he was extremely good about ALL my decorations since Fall. I am amazed, maybe Tornado season is over finally. He's 2 now. But a real bird nest would be pushing my luck for sure. hugs, Karen...See MoreAren't these pretty?
Comments (2)Luvs, I love both pics. The basket is very elegant. Would be a nice gift for someone. The sunflower arrangement would be very pretty in a tablesetting too. Karen, YOU like the PINK one? LOL You're coming over to the pink side!...See MorePainting a dresser: paint the drawer sides/insides? Prime?
Comments (7)Thanks guys :) Here's a photo of the dresser: (wi-sailorgirl, can you believe I'm doing something so vintage?!?!?!? It's so not my usual style... but this is the second bath: it's the general household-use bath but ALSO my teen daughter's bathroom. And she REALLY didn't want sleek and modern!) I don't have a photo of the sides of the drawers, but they are mostly still raw wood, except the person who painted it last slopped the maroon paint around the edge onto the dovetail joint. I guess I will try to sand that off and then just paint the fronts. sailorgirl, the lower two drawers won't have glides, they'll remain as-is, with just old-fashioned wooden guide rails. The top two drawers need to be cut back pretty severely, and their center rail removed for the sink, so those two WILL have new, undermount glides installed. I'll try to take some pics of the drawer insides and sides, too... I have a gorgeous piece of Vermont White quartzite (pretty grey, actually) that's been cut to fit the top, with the curvy front, and a white Kohler undermount sink. I'm thinking about doing faceted crystal knobs, too. it's a real departure from my normal style :) I've just laid the radiant floor heat wiring last night and will be pouring the self-levelling compound today. Can't wait to start tiling! Stacey...See Moreterilyn
