Clivia Miniata - flower bud stuck!
Comments (6)I grow C. miniata to. For years the stalk never did come out of the leaves. This year I've had 2 do it, both flowered in the fall. The one is still flowering now. Both had stalks that rose as the buds opened. I don't have the cold room anymore so mine don't get the cold period. They flowered anyway, the best ever. I didn't realize they needed the cold for the stalks to grow taller. Thanks for that tip Smivies. I asked questions on the clivia forum and was told they need phosphorous for the stalk to get taller. I'm trying that, alternating between a general fertilizer and with more phosphorous in it....See MoreClivia flower bud stuck!
Comments (14)Mine bloomed beautifully in Washington State. I put them outside I’m May, fertilized with miracle grow, and brought them in befit the first frost. Never had a flower stalk get stuck. Then I moved to Florida. They have to stay outside year round. January and February should provide enough cool weather. At least as much as mine got indoors in WA. I Haven’t had good blooms since we moved. I thought they didn’t like the climate in Florida but now I’m thinking that I haven’t given them enough fertilizer early enough. They bloomed in July in WA but one tried to bloom in March this year in FL so I guessI need to start fertilizing in February....See MoreConnecting stained cabinet crown with painted crown in room
Comments (4)Gorgeous hutch! Do you have a link to more photos of your kitchen? I'd love to take a look around! I was also worried about upcoming molding transition issues (2 different paint colors in my case). But I see from the photo that it will likely be a non issue. No one will notice it but me, and even I won't notice it after the first day. It looks perfectly fine! Nothing odd about it! :-) Francy...See MoreI am so stuck! - art over my fireplace
Comments (21)Iceanna, I drooled over those fireplace surrounds in the gallery - breath-taking antiques. Franksmom and Kswl - I do not want to hang those portraits over the fireplace. The fireplace is gas and emits a lot of heat - and a lot of it goes up (ask the poor fresh wreath I hung over the fireplace this Christmas). The woman is my grandmother and probably is 115 years old. I am afraid of the heat. Kswl - there are only two chairs upholstered the same - the two flanking the fireplace. I gave a lot of thought to comments here - a lot - and then DH decided to go shopping with me on Friday. He very rarely goes as he figures everything is a matter of opinion - and he couldn't figure out why I wanted to replace the piece currently there. Anyway - off we went in the snow. I looked at a lot of prints and saw this one. Were the colors good? Yes, perfect. More importantly, did it reflect me. I looked at the scene and immediately thought old, calm, serene, could almost see people walking up the street in days gone by. Life is more than intense right now and I am going for quiet at home! So we bought it knowing we could return it -but alone it seemed to small. We trooped through a few more stores and started looking at scones. He liked these as they mimic the fireplace surround which we do love. We came home and I told him I was going to wait until my DILs came today - he told me he liked it and "just hang it" - so we did. I do like it. Is it forever? Probably not. Will I always keep looking? Yes, but I do like it. The sconces look amazing lit (am going to look for battery-operated candles). So for now, I like it and certainly better than the purple print, which now has a new home. I don't know how the colors are going to come through but here goes: For years I have been wanting to take the ugly mirrors off my dresser - the picture is perfect - picks up the colors in the comforter: I still need to "dress" the dresser ---...See Morelittleonefb
