These oaks were for sale at a major retailer in the area. Buyer beware.

Comments (11)I don't believe in "Gore bull warming". In Feb. of 1895, Houston, Texas got 20 inches of snow. That was well before SUVs. Oh, I guess cow farts did it. That's what they want you to believe so you will cut down on eating meat. All I can say to that is "Bull ****!!!!"...See MoreWhat's Wrong with this Picture?
Comments (12)In "A Pattern Language" which is a book about architecture, Christopher Alexander the author speaks about using smaller windows on view walls. The reason for this, according to him, is that when one constantly sees a view through huge windows it becomes so commonplace that one no longer really sees it. He recommends using smaller windows so the view is glimpsed in smaller increments and appreciated more. So IMO using the fireplace to block part of the view is not a mistake altho I think it could have been done more esthetically. The fireplace IMO has too much contrast to the white walls and is really not as special a choice as might have been made in what is likely a very expensive home. Overall I think it's a pretty 'blah' room and not a great advertisement for the designer but that's just my opinion and likely because it's not my style at all.

last yearlast modified: last yearOK, here's another one I saw today at a major retailer (not the same place as the above). I believe there is one detail on the label that is incorrect for this named hybrid. This variety is supposed to be quite hardy and disease resistant, but if the buyer was looking for a chestnut that was partly American they should pass on this one.

BTW, here’s my one and only Syringa shrub, which was labeled as Moscow Beauty. It ain’t that, but it smells heavenly.

last yearlast modified: last yearmaackia, I believe that is correct - Layeroka is a mollisima x sativa hybrid, with no dentata (or "dentatum" as the tag says). Nice lilac you've got there, whatever cultivar it is.
This is my "wax leaf magnolia" that I mentioned in another post (photo today 5/30/22). Clearly a virginiana (sweetbay). The silver spotted skipper likes it.
