What is yellow pattern pls? Do I need to get rid of these?
Comments (79)The following statement was made in this thread on April 29, 2009: "It has been demonstrated by natural root grafting at UC Davis, but then only on rootstock plants just a few inches from each other, in the nursery row, and then only on mutiflora." In 2007 Golino et.al. at U.C. Davis published a paper on this subject. The abstract is at: http://www.actahort.org/books/751/751_26.htm In the full paper, the following is stated (page 29-30): "Field Spread in Scion Cultivars To test further for the occurrence of virus spread trials were conducted on over 300 plants each of three scion cultivars, Double Delight, Iceberg, and Queen Elizabeth. Rooted cuttings were planted approximately 30 cm apart in rows in the field, grown for one year and alternate plants were graft-inoculated as described above with one of three virus accessions: 1) ROS98.36, 2) ROS98.27, and 3) ROS70.7, which were 1) a source of PNRSV that caused bright yellow chlorosis in the spring; 2) a source of ApMV, and 3) a source of a naturally-occurring mixed infection of ApMV and PNRSV, respectively. Plants were pruned yearly using shears that were cleaned between each plant by dipping in 10% bleach solution. Bushes were observed for symptoms periodically and ELISA tested for PNRSV and ApMV in the spring for two years. All non-inoculated plants that tested positive were re-sampled and tested to confirm the result." In the conclusion section (page 221) the following was stated: "In scion varieties, transmission rates two years postinoculation ranged from 0 to 25% depending on virus and cultivar. Queen Elizabeth had the lowest percent infection of all the varieties at an average 5% for all three viruses; Iceberg had the highest for a scion cultivar at 13% average for the viruses (Table 4). These differences correlate with the cultivars relative root vigor. It is possible that a larger, more vigorous root system would increase the chance of forming a root graft with an adjacent plant. R. multiflora has a more vigorous root system than all three scion cultivars tested and within the scions, Iceberg is more vigorous than Queen Elizabeth and Double Delight." -------------------------------- I do not understand why someone would make the April 29 statement. Especially since on April 30, 2009 the same writer states: "If one actually looks up Golino's paper in Acta Horticulturae......." ----------------------------------- Please also note that not all types of mechanical transmission were ruled out in the 2007 paper since the observed rate of spread was higher in the unpruned bushes than in the pruned bushes. In another PNRSV infected plant, hops, this is attributed, in part, to the branches of neighboring plants rubbing against each other. Golino et.al. acknowledge this as they state (page 220-221): "The possibility remains that spread occurred by mechanical transmission due to contact between the leaves of the closely spaced plants and experiments are underway to test that putative mechanism of spread."...See Moreany photos of patterned upholstered headboards?
Comments (23)meg711 -- you are my lucky charm. Today I was going to go to the design center to finalize yardage and, on a whim, stopped by the Calico Corners (I'd received a postcard from them saying "Big Sale"). meg711 -- they had an even better buffalo check than Kathryn Ireland's, and for a literal fraction of the cost. I'd chosen the Kathryn Ireland for two reasons: 1) I had searched and searched for a super-large scale red / cream buffalo check and hers was the only one I'd found; and 2) I wanted the colors of the buffalo check / toile to match, and seeing as those were both made by her I assumed I'd have a home run (in terms of color match)! But I was never in love with the ikat (bleeding edge) feel of the check -- that hadn't been my goal, and truthfully, I resented the cost (of the raw yardage). I was after a finished room so I acquiesced .... Anyway, to make a short story super-long (!), the price I am paying for the headboard, bedskirt and drapery panels (fabric and construction) through Calico Corners is less than what I would have paid for the Kathryn Ireland fabric alone for the bedskirt / headboard (not even including the drapery panels). You know, it would have been one thing if I'd been in love with the Kathryn Ireland ikat check or her toile, but I wasn't. Then I would have happily paid $X for using her textiles. I had a vision and they filled it well enough, so that's why I was planning on using them. Instead, I am going to be really happy about getting to spend a fraction of the cost yet still achieve my vision, and then get to do more, sooner, in my room. And I really feel I owe it to you, meg711. This post you started totally prompted me to "do it!" And if I hadn't had this "chat" with you it all wouldn't have been front and center for me. If I hadn't been in the textile frame of mind, who knows if I would've popped into Calico Corners. Really, thank you so much!...See MoreCarpet square pattern ideas for me?
Comments (2)Here's an example that I like. If you read Pioneer Woman, maybe you've seen it. I like the consistency of color and design with the interest coming from the rotation. I don't think you're going to get a cohesive look with squares that don't relate in some way. You could use a solid mixed with one pattern, or 2 patterns if they relate as with the same color(s). Can't make any specific suggestions because your photos are small and I can't really see what you have to work with....See MoreNot sure if I like this leopard carpet? Do you? Please help.
Comments (25)I like the one you didn't get - it looks bold, new and speaks "leopard!". the one you got looks old and worn out to me. And I know that's how it is supposed to look. But you said you wanted a leopard carpet/rug. I think you'll be happier if you get your first choice....See MoreRelated Professionals
