I got the picture, albeit a hair fuzzy on the shop computer. Four feet tall is a bit of a stretch unless the gal in the background is at least 8'! They look exactly like the true Egyptian tree onions, a.k.a. Egyptian walking onion. It's not a case of the seeds germinating on the stalk, the walking onions skip the seed phase and simply produce ready-to-plant bulbs which are called bulbils. When those tall stalks tip over, the bulbils take root where they land. Hence the walking onion name. They also have a bit of insurance built in just in case something comes along to destroy the bulbils. The true bulbs divide so as to produce even more seed stalks. Thus they are a multiplying onion as well. Martin

I've always seen the flowers of Hot Lips as either a pure white or a strong medium red, with only variations in the boundaries of the zones. I have not seen any white/pink forms of Hot Lips (or any other plant)doing the same thing. Hot Lips is unique amongst all other flowering plants, to the best of my knowledge. Sun bleaching of the color to a lighter shade can happen in some selections, especially with Zaragoza. The older flowers fade in color on the second day, usually uniformly, giving the bush's flowers a multi saturated look. The hue does not shift towards salmon or coral, let alone to lavender or orange. That would define a third kind of color transition. One has to be careful with apparent hue shifts when unsaturating a particular hue. For instance, pink is not light red. It is more accurately defined as light magenta. Rose is on that axis also. You can experiment with colors in Photoshop's Color Picker, which lists colors in four different color spaces: CMYK (cyan, magenta, yellow, and black - colors when added darken the object by absorption of light, as in printing); RGB (red, green, blue - color when added together create ultimately white, as in monitors and in photography); HSB (hue, saturation, and black - where zero saturation and zero black is white, 100% saturation and zero black is the pure color, and 100% black is just that no matter what the other values are. The number of the hue is the color on a rainbow wheel, read like a clock from 0 [red] to 359). I have not begun to study L*a*b color, and it is not relevant anyway. Another color surprise is that by graying yellow, one can create a pseudo green, and these colors are found in images of leaves (again, play with the colors in Photoshop). Brown is hard to define, but is usually a grayed orange, with shifts to either the red or yellow side.

Sounds like the twilight zone to me and I have no idea why internet photos would download and save without your knowledge. All my Adobe programs install to C:\Program Files\Adobe Inside that Adobe folder, you may find the Album Starter, and inside the Album Starter folder, you may find a folder with the photos.

It doesn't look like magma to me in the picture. But I'm sure Greendesigns nailed it, lol! Gigi, slabs look very different in pictures than they do in person. Take pictures with you (along with a small glass tile for scratch testing) to some granite yards and ask the folks there for guidance. Visit as many as practical, in my area the quality and selection varied widely.
