Three Katherines...
...and the effect of lighting/sun exposure.
I have several 'Katherine Lewis' potted up and in different locations of the lot. Thought it would be interesting to see how light affects the overall colouration. The first one is one I have in full open shade, pot-in-pot under a rhododendron in the front yard.
You can see some instability happening at around the 3 o'clock position but I rather suspect that will prove to be transitory and likely will not see it again next year. I've had this variety since about 2008 and have not seen any sporting from it.
This one is on the other side of the carport and receives direct sun until around 1PM this time of year. The variegation is quite a bit brighter but does not result in any burns.
And finally this one sits in pretty much full sun all day this time of year. It's got the brightest variegation and later on in the season that will have gone almost completely white, just a hint of cream.
We're all quite familiar with how variable 'June ' is, depending on sun exposure. While not my personal experience, 'June' is prone to reverting back to 'Halcyon', and the 'June' we know as 'Touch of Class' certainly has been prone to sporting for me into 'Touch of Class'. So for me with this other 'Halcyon' sport I have not seen any of that, but YMMV.

Katherine Heigl to play Stephanie Plum
Comments (54)Angelina bought the rights to 6 of Patricia Cornwell's books a year or so ago...then I read in one of the rag trades that she's actually gonna play Kay Scarpetta...She is sooo not Kay Scarpetta... I can't wait to send hubster to the Library...I went on line and reserved a bunch of Plum books and he'll go pick them up for me since I'm not my usual fast walkin self! I'll reserve my comments for Heigl playing Plum till I read some of the books... I would love to see Grafton's book made into some movies...I love Kinsey and I want to see her boat/apartment come to life! I picture Peter Falk playing her landlord! He plays a good ole man! I agree that Hillary Swank would make a great Kinsey!...See MoreChip Implants Linked to Animal Tumors
Comments (6)Please be aware that rats and mice develop tumors much more easily than dogs or people. I read this on the AOL vet board. Furthermore, the tumors they are correlating with the microchips formed right around the microchip, and they are not seeing this in pets. My dog did die of a brain tumor, but since she was a wandering breed, I feel it was prudent to microchip her. And her tumor was very deep and not close to the chip. I am fairly confident the 2 were not related, though certainly I can't be sure. Then again, every time she escaped, it was the tag on her collar that was used to find me....See Moredwts
Comments (7)It's a contest based on fan vote. She did not get enough votes. She may have been the better dancer but she didn't get the votes. I think people have taken to Katherine because she's so genuine and honest. She's a great dancer and deserves her place in the finals. What happened in her dance can happen to a pro and I'm glad she wasn't seriously hurt. It was her left leg and her back. Mark didn't knock her down. I think Donald is doing a fine job but he's not as good as William and Katherine. The finals will be a show to watch!!!...See MoreBlc. Suncoast Sunspots x Slc Katherine Clarkson
Comments (21)Eve, I'm not about to rave on about the tropical myth BUT some places in the tropics get quite cool at night and warm up during the day. The other species used to make SunCoast Sunspots make it easy to grow. Sure it is in glass-house but that house is not set for Tropical Lowland. It is set for Tropical Savannah and the heater comes on in the very early morning when power is cheap. At heat on time the temp may have dropped to 5C or below on a few mornings. No misting in that house either. The water expired by the plants condenses on the glass-house walls. Only water once a week on a day that might be sunny in winter. I cringe with all this misting stuff! As for Cattleya aclandiae on its arid cork mount. Perhaps it will flower next growth. Fingers crossed....See MorePieter zone 7/8 B.C.
