Hi i am looking for redphlox or any red perinnals,i have enough red daylillys,i also have 5,zebra grass starts about eight inches tall or check my list thank you marcella

Thank you, jaynine. We have so few this year that we fear losing them completely. Your information will permit me to reestablish them if necessary.

It looks like Columnea to me too. Be glad you have all those green leaves! That's a sign of new growth and means your plant was happy to be repotted! They will turn darker in time if they have good light. They like bright light, but not direct sun. I have mine near a south-facing window but it's off to the side so that only the VERY early morning sun may be on it for just a short time.

We are combing our kitchen and formal dining areas into one large room. Each room is 12x15, the kitchen currently has vinyl and dining room has hardwood. The hardwood is solid 2" wide, 5/16" thick facenail red oak, the same as the rest of the house. It it not T&G. Condition is very good for a 60 year old house but we plan to have it refinished and possibly re-nailed to silence a few squeaky areas. From what we can tell the sub-floor is also in good condition albeit squeaky in spots. It's 3/4 pine planks laid 90 degrees to the joists and the hardwood is 90 degrees to the subfloor. I was thinking of picking up used flooring of the same type for use in the kitchen. We would have the kitchen/dining area refinished slightly darker than the rest of the house and maybe add some inlay accents where it meets the adjoining areas. Is this a good plan? Another option would be to pull the hardwood up in the dining room, renail and sand subfloor, then put down new 5/16. Cost of new 5/16 material is about $4/sqft so not terribly expensive and may give a better finished product. Some have recommended that we buy new 3/4 T&G hardwood and deal with the height difference since there is only one area where the floors meet. Can this be laid without issues on the plank subfloor? Plusses ond minuses for the different options? We'd prefer not to use 5/16 or 3/8 floating floors like Pergo. Thanks.
