Andrew, PS. Sonia does have great plants as I have bought from her several times. Since I have known John for a long time I generally buy directly from him, but sometimes Sonia finds a rare one so I just get it from her as she takes good care of her plumies. Gina is one of my fav's I have 3 of them. The first one I bought from John was when he brought them in from Thailand and paid about 150.00 for a 3 tipper in a 6" pot. Also I never keep multiples of the same variety so I really love Gina..lol The other thing is depending on the heat and temps you have during supper Jenny, and Jackie may not take on its look with the coloring or curling of the petals Here is a pic of Jackie blooming last season in my cooler coastal area, pic was taken in late Aug: Pics of other Jungle Jacks plumeis you got from my cooler patch: Elsie without heat in mid June Christina cooler temp first blooming Blooming in Sept when temps where in the upper 80s Gina Taken in warmer temp in Sept Jenny without heat in late June in my costal area Jenny in heat Penang Peach in late June when its cooler Smith Candy Apple is a good one for cooler areas and good growth habit. Pic from cooler June Samirie with heat Samirie needs some heat to pop, with out heat Lava Flow in cooler temps in June So basically some plumies require heat and bright bright sun to look like the pics sometimes. If you live in an area that has cooler summers or near the coast you need to be more selective. Here are a few other plumies that do not perform well in cooler areas. Purple Jack (looks pink, unless you have heat) University Hawaii Orange Emmersons Pink Nova (the white eye will not appear or pop without sun and heat) Flames of the sun Bonnie Fox Dane Madam Poni Wild Fire only stays red never gets deep Ruby Gold Heart of Gold Thai Peach, etc.

Does anyone have photos of their cumaru floors? Gardenchick1, you posted photos way back in '07 of your cumaru floor. Unfortunately, the link to photobucket said that your photo had been deleted or could not be seen. Anyway, I couldn't open the photos, and I'm dying to see your floors, since I'm considering installing an engineered cumaru floor. The only sample I've seen is by Mullican, and it's lovely. But I'm worried that it will look too "stripey" and what I'm really looking for is gorgeous color floors that don't look too busy. I have lots of my art work on the walls, and I want that to be the star of the show, but I want the floors to be unique in themselves. Am I making sense? Can anyone help out there?

I'm not familiar with cabinet rescue but I know about the company I purchased my new cabinet doors,drawer faces and all of my refacing materials from. Taylor Cabinet Door Company was wonderful. Their product is of the highest quality that I have only seen from custom builders. My wife was skeptic at first but after seeing the out come of our transformed kitchen she tells her friends of Taylor Cabinet Door. The refacing materials came all pre-cut to our measurements and easy doesn't even close to describing their process, lets just say my wife had her newly refaced kitchen in one weekend.

Originally purchased the windows from Sierra window concepts. There now out of business I wonder why ? and I have to deal with getting the windows replaced yet again it’s less than 10 years old. Anlin won’t warranty because even though they manufacture the product but it was under SWC band which apparently is a private label brand. I heard them pitch lifetime warranty transferable lifetime warranty virgin vinyl it’s all false.
