Hi Carol, I can't tell what that garment is, but if it's not too important, it could be taken apart, and the fabric used for parts of the dress. There are lots of colors choices in it for a contrast fabric. Do you know how old it is? What store did you find it in? Maybe someone here has access to the same store and could check for you. Linda

Hello, I have a slow drip in my cold water tap and I need to replace the cartridge. Does anyone know what or who the manufacurer is of this faucet? I bought this faucet about 10 years ago from Home Depot or Lowes if that helps. I don't want to remove the cartridge and take to either store at this time since I have a renter moving in and I don't want to create a big headache a day or two they are scheduled to move in. Thanks in advance!

Those look like galls of some kind...like this? https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Page:Popular_Science_Monthly_Volume_69.djvu/72 EDIT: more googling later. Can't ID the host but those "flowers" seem to be formed by roots of parasitic plants growing on the host. http://www2.palomar.edu/users/warmstrong/plnov99.htm http://fieldmuseumphotoarchives.tumblr.com/post/103149212756/scar-on-a-tree-branch-from-mistletoe-growing-on

Those conifers are common in the colder parts of the country, but I don't know their name. If you took a piece to a garden centre they'd probably be able to identify it for you. Conifers are gymnosperms, they don't flower. They have male cones which produce pollen, and female cones in which the seeds develop. What you have are female cones. Because they've split there probably won't be any seed inside.
