I am so sad that Cliff has become ill and unable to continue with his dream. He has done a lot to get some very unusual roses out into commerce. And in trying to do so, he has stressed himself out so much that he just can't do it anymore. His health is much more important than all the roses. I've been in touch with him over the last several months and I know what he's been going thru. It was a difficult decision, but something he had to do. He is currently packing up about 12,000 roses to be trucked up to Vintage Gardens. I know what his list was, and he had some wonderful roses to be offered. I don't know when Vintage will be putting them up on the availability list, but hopefully it will be within a few weeks or so. Cliff and his EuroDesert Roses will be sorely missed by me, and I'm sure many others too.

My hostas from this weekend: Link will get you pictures of Woodland Gardens. Janet, she said she just wants to enjoy gardening, and garden only for herself again. Plus she is really into kayaking, and the nursery was just taking up too much of the time when she could be out. Here is a link that might be useful: Woodland Gardens

Ouch! I don't even have mine yet!!! And you are closing yours!

Ironically, none of these opinions of your cabinets' color are worth the time it took to type them. Monitors resolve colors differently, no matter how "true" they claim to be. Even "true" is different in peoples' eyes, because EYEs make colors different. So to you it's too yellow. I agree with taking a door back to wherever you got it and comparing it to the sample. If it's different, you might have a leg to stand on about changing them. I don't get the designer "letting" you have a color, as someone mentioned. The thing is, and we warn against this in every. single. discussion about paint color: you cannot choose a color without living with a large sample in your own lighting. White is a color. Just because it's painted on a door, doesn't mean you shouldn't live with it for a while. Some know this because it's my own oft repeated color story: attempting a gorgeous, gray/green color. Found it perfectly several different times. I painted at night. LOVED IT. With each color choice. However, in direct sunlight, it appeared teal or turquoise. Seemed my windows had a protective coating on them, which created a blue light. Those cabs not in direct sunlight remained the beautiful color(s) I'd chosen. I eventually settled on a cream with yellow it in, because combined with the light from the windows, it became sagey/green/gray. Go figure. Anyway, you don't have to live with it. 1) Change your lighting 2) Change your paint 4) Change your back splash Paint them Have them replaced. 6) Don't look at them. Reface them
