I'm almost 100% certain #3 is Horseweed (Conyza canadensis). It's one of those weeds that changes shape and form as it ages. In other words it starts out looking very different than it ultimately will look like when it blooms. I was just Googling images for this one and found tons of 'em at all stages of development. I have it my garden. It's easy to pull, but it seems to be around every year no matter what I do. Kevin

hello louky. ofcourse pictures would be helpful. fish pepper: variegated leaf. fruit can be variegated and looks like little fish hooks trifetti: variegated leaves however they're asymmetrical (they all look differrent). fruits are purple bolivian: non-variegated. leaves tend to be purple. fruits of various colors. hope this is helpful. great selection of plants by the way.

Here is a link that might be useful: article with the bulldog in it

Thanks, jbrig and californiagirl (I'm in California too!) I'll check ebay also. I would like to install hardware now because I've been wanting to do this for years but have been waiting to paint the cabinets, which just hasn't happened yet. I don't like having to touch the drawers and doors in order to open them and they do get dirty faster. I also thought it might look better to have hardware. We just replaced the old, hard water damaged faucet to a nice new Hansgrohe faucet and even that improvement, though small, makes me happy :) As jbrig mentioned, I'm now back to wondering whether we should paint the cabinets if we're going to sell the house. I have posted on this before and still keep going back and forth as to whether it's a good idea to spend time and money painting and/or replacing the appliances if a new buyer might just want to tear it all out anyway! Besides painting, I priced appliances over the weekend and it would probably be around $7,000 to replace the Kitchenaid appliances with new stainless steel (if I buy them at Sears Outlet as they become available - would be over $10,000 if I just purchase them all at once from regular appliance store). I'm going to follow up with the agent on this to get more advice. If changing the kitchen won't help us sell or increase our selling price, then I might want to put that money towards my next kitchen instead :) If I do paint, it's a great idea to try out different colors on poster boards and then ask for input on GW. I'll definitely do that! JessHS - we used Sherwin Williams Antique White throughout our whole house on all the doors and trim (pillars, windows, crown, baseboard, etc.). It's a very pretty creamy white in our house, not too yellow or drab, and works well with our walnut stained floors and warm neutrals. I'm just not sure if it will work with the counters. I love bright white kitchens, but I think that might look out of place in our house. I do like Edgecomb Gray though. This post was edited by juddgirl2 on Tue, Apr 8, 14 at 1:10
