Boulderbelt, You are apsoulutely right about not knowing what organic gardening is until you begin to get certified. It's crazy! Nonetheless I truly would love to get certified but overall from hearing from others I feel I may be better off at least for now somehow obtaining all the information I can into the nop standards and just going strictly with that. For one I am just starting out, and another from what it sounds is that it is a long period of being certified and also it requires having $$$$ availiable to sustain the long process. But I can say my ultimate goal would be to offer a product that isn't just near organic. But truly 'Organic' by the strict standards without being certified. At least until I can reasonably decide the extra money and increased business would justify it. I am somewhat discouraged by what seems an unattainable goal. (certification) At least for now. But I think I can let others in that it is 'Natural' With no chemicals, or synthetic ingredients. eric wa, I so appreiciate you sharing the photo! I think that really sealed things that I can try it without the lime added in. Every mix I have ever seen has some amount of lime added in. So I just hope that I can get the plants to thrive even though the ph may be higher due to the acidity. I think it's worth a shot.! If you have any other suggestions let me on them! Thank's everyone!!! Great valid advice!

Well, they both can. But the plant pictured above doesn't have the 'second ‘leaf’ (flower bract)' typical of H. hypoglossum.

(ETA: oops, I see that I linked to the dresser and not the vanity - the vanity may be discontinued, as I can't seem to find it now....) this is what it says online about that collection and your piece specifically: The Monaco collection is grand and palatial, covered from head to foot in the most elegant classic design ornaments. This traditional European style derives its influence from classical architectural shapes and the more natural and organic ornaments used in the 18th century Rococo style. Such shapes, like silver-tipped rocaille moulding, carved shells, acanthus, and scrolling make a terribly striking impression on the sparse, function-driven furniture of today. But you can be assured of the best quality and usability as well, knowing that your Monaco bedroom set features handy additions like French and English dovetailing, full-extension ball bearing drawer guides, felt-lined top drawers, and positive drawer stops. The Monaco sleigh bed, chest, nightstand, dresser and mirror allow you to furnish your whole room in this stunningly elegant look. Cool, Bisque wood finish and ornate drawer pulls enhance your furniture with a delicate and beautiful finish. Monaco Dresser & Mirror Sure to stop visitors in their tracks, nothing says elegance like this elaborately adorned, bow-front vanity set. The sinuously curved drawer front is flanked with carved pilasters and thick, fluted bun feet. Rocaille moulding, rope moulding, and naturalistic carvings like shells and acanthus leaves ornament the dresser case throughout. The accompanying mirror completes the palatial look with scroll carvings and thin wood tracery on the mirror face. The dresser top features a convex, gallery area with embossing and bead moulding that forms an ideal vanity space. Ample storage can be found in the eleven drawers for clothes, accessories, and make-up. Top drawers all felt lined to help keep jewelry safe and secure without scratching the bottom of the drawer. source

thank you. that was my guess too but I wanted to make sure.
