Chantilly Cream, Larger Than Life’s sibling

Also a child of Memorial Day and Mellow Yellow. The blooms are big, but not as large as its sibling. Fragrance is noticeably stronger, I get fruit. The color seems to hold and not significantly fade. The center of the blooms are interesting, I haven't seen ones like these before. Health seems to be good too.

Comments (4)Macgyver, you saw one in blue - so there goes that "stays-pink" hope out the window. Just turned up this Van Klaveren Netherland's site mentioning pink/blue, along with the "possibility to make it blue" & photos of both. Need to rethink intended placement in this acidic soil, since the blue version would not appeal next to existing blues. Overdue shifting them to larger pots, may up the proportion of garden soil to the planting mix & observe the coloring of next year's blooms before reconsidering where to site them. From your experience, Springwood, may be best to leave them in larger pots placed in the garage this coming Winter, plant out next Spring & plan for cold weather protection in future years. Thank you both for your observations - much appreciated! Here is a link that might be useful: Fantasia...See Morequestion about estrace cream
Comments (97)Just adding my ten cents worth, having read everybody's different experiences. I was seeing pink streaks of blood on the toilet paper after urinating, and at first thought it was a urinary tract infection. Antibiotics for that didn't make any difference. Then I tried to determine if it was really urinary, or perhaps vaginal instead. It seemed like it was both which seemed crazy and impossible and scared me half to death. And it was only apparent when I wiped after urinating. It wasn't like I was bleeding like with a period or anything like that. Long story short is doc explained that the urethra and the vagina share a wall, and that as I'm nearly 65 and about 13 years past menopause, it was probably that shared wall that was atrophying (drying out) and causing the light bleeding. Which made sense as my husband had major surgery about a year ago and as he's 78 years old, we just haven't gone back to regular sex which had probably been keeping my vagina well lubricated. Anyway, doc prescribed a pea sized amount of Estrace externally three times a week. I tried that for four weeks and it made no difference at all. I did some research and as I trust the Mayo Clinic, I went with their recommended dosage of 2 grams daily, some just inside the vagina with my finger, the rest externally, for one to two weeks. Halfway through the second week the bleeding had completely gone away. Mayo then says half that dosage for the next one to two weeks, which I'm trying now, and then 1 gram three times a week for three out of every four weeks as a maintenance dose. I'm going to try the pea sized amount three times a week instead and see if symptoms come back - hopefully they won't. I want to use the minimum amount possible, yet keep the problem under control. Only side effect I noticed was when I went to the 2 grams daily, my nipples were very sensitive but that has improved....See Morecolor xperts:is a 'cream' really another word for 'light yellow'
Comments (41)Just go to WalMart or wherever they have KILZ in your area (Value, maybe?) and ask them for a "Silk" or "Soft Silk" chip (or maybe the formula from their book if it's since been discontinued). Then take it to HD to color match! PS- Love everything about your house! Especially kitchen/family room and that laundry room floor. Great job! PPS- I'm pretty sure HD didn't list the color in their archives as "Debbie's cheap and making do again with leftovers!" Although I suppose anything is possible! :)...See MoreMonday Seedlings and Named Varieties
Comments (12)So glad your air is back on. Techs may be busy, my son was saying his air was not working well. I am with Julia, I don't think I can pick a favorite. I may have to get Dancing Flami go though, you have gotten some great seedlings from it. I was hoping Cindy would do better for you. Mine even dropped a couple of fans. I like it, but she can be a problem. The clump of Flash of Mischief is wonderful....See MoreNick 10bSW17
2 years agoCarol, I like the stuffed petals and color too, it reminds me of Moonlight Romantica. Here's a picture from this morning with a little fog cover from the sun.

2 years ago@strawchicago z5 I hope MR works out for you, I’ve only had mine for two seasons, but I like it a lot! (It’s an own root) I’m a sucker for yellows... I couldn’t find a good picture of it with the lighter coloring similar to CC, but I think MR has a stronger fragrance so far (MR May 2021).
