Double Time Hybrid Tea help (with photo)
Comments (23)"KSN" may simply stand for Key Serial Number, indicating that the rose is exclusive to Pan American Nurseries and may as well be known by their Serial Number. I don't know why Dave's Garden doesn't list a KSN for Blue Lagoon, but you can probably tell that Pan American's own hybridizing varieties are not universally recognized. It's possible that your pink rose is "Paradise," but their impressive catalog (looks like they bought most of Weeks' stock) already carries Paradise (page 10). I'm not sure they'd have any advantage in selling a universally-recognized rose variety under their own, lesser-known variety name. I'd love to order their Climbing Peace (I killed mine), but they're obviously wholesalers with a $250 minimum order. So again, I think your rose may be exactly as labeled - just that as a light-sensitive-color-trait, you're going to get variations....See Moreplease help save my kids' vine teepee! (MG)
Comments (9)RedQueen, I'm in SW Michigan (zone 5) and I did MGs for the first time last year. I didn't plant my seeds until about now, and the first month of growth was SLOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But once they got up to about a foot tall, they REALLY took off. Suggestions: For fast growth and foliage, you *DO* want to water them. Then once they are established, cut down on the watering and they'll flower more. But for little "babies" that aren't to the flowering stage yet, if they don't have enough water then they won't have what they need to grow. Once they are growing strong (sending out tendrils), you'll want to watch them EVERY DAY if you want to get complete coverage for the teepee. These things grow like the dickens once they get going, but they're not very smart about *where* they grow. You'll want to direct them to the bare spots on your teepee each day so they don't just start growing on each other or heading back down towards the ground. (Learn from my mistake, please!) The vines are very forgiving of your manipulation, too -- I've unwrapped them where they had spiraled around each other a dozen times and directed them to where I wanted them to go, and they just kept on going. But it takes a LOT more time to unwrap them than it does to just direct them in the right spot in the first place. In my experience, Grandpa Otts isn't the fastest/strongest grower. I found that the Mixed Colors seeds grew faster than the other varieties I had last year (grandpa otts, tricolor, and heavenly blue). Good luck!...See MoreTea Party table for the Partea Planners 'tea party'
Comments (37)purplemoon, thank you, well, since this treatment is going to last at least until Aug, I have to deal with good days (few) and not so good days, but I try to not have the bad days totally run my life...they just slow it down LOL Paintingfool, you just gave me a good belly laugh (Godiva) ha, only in my dreams, especially lately LOL I am glad that the tablesetting bug has gone to your family, there is nothing more pleasing than people actually using their "treasures" rather than making a shrine to them. To be lovinging touched and sharing a food event whether simple or elaborate is what makes the dishes special, because they were used with love. And each time the dishes are used they acquire a new patina of love every time they are used, now that is "priceless". And wow, 6 sisters, that means 6 opporutunites of beautiful tables and fun! dining delight, thank you too for your sweet words. I do hope what thoughts that come streaming out of this head (especially lately) are of some help to everyone, I defineatly do not have a claim to "engaging prose", I do the best I can, but of course if anyone has any questions I am always glad to take a poke at it. I do not consider myself an expert in any way. As I had said in the main forum under another thread, I do follow certain rules, but I do put up alot of others for grabs LOL, at this stage of my life I try to please me and others, the whole idea is to have fun, bring in color, excitement to what is a normal routine in most of our lives. My ears are burning in a good way, thankyou :) luvs, the Party Planner seems to be way behind on posting the photos, but if you go to her most recent comment about being busy...I think, you will see people that participated with comments, click on there blog sign and their blog will come up and you will see their teaparties....See MoreAppropriate tile for kids bathrooms in historic house? HELP!
Comments (27)Dear Molly, I doubt you'll see this since the discussion is 2 years old and you must have made a decision by now. You sound EXACTLY like me. I've looked high and low. My home isn't nearly as old, but it is an old bath I'm re-doing and nothing satisfies me. The porcelain encaustics have fewer grout lines, but lack the softer subtle feeling I want. I used to have solid hardwood in bathroom when I lived up north, and I found it as easy to care for as anything barring any accidents - and that's living on prayer. I would get a fake wood, but my other floors are real wood and I think it would be a wrong look. As for the hex, the best pattern I've seen - to my eye anyway, is the snowflake. The flower and diamonds make me tired. I think solid wood really is the best if craziest-seeming - or painted wood is BEAUTIFUL - light gray painted or white painted. Both just beautiful, but risk. Tell me what you finally did if you see this. I'm so interested....See Moresealavender
