Are you still looking for Daltile French Quarter Mardi Gras tile? i have about 390 (12x12’s) that my daughter had bought to tile her home years ago. We laid most of the tile but then put down wood flooring. This is why we have a surplus of this tile. I also have some 12x6’s and 6x6’s left over from my home project. i love this tile and cannot understand why Daltile would discontinue this product. In fact, i was halfway through with my house when Home Depot quit handling this tile. Then after some time went by, they restocked and I was able to finish my home. I felt I was very fortunate to wait as it eventually paid off… Sandie lsdavis@grandecom.net

My mustead wood gave me a single yesterday, which looks like Dr. Huey

Aeonium are summer dormant, so mine are just starting to grow again. I don;t think Leaf and Clay sells cuttings, I would send them photos and ask for a replacement. That said, your MG will likely root, since it's growing season is juts starting, but do not water until you see roots. Make sure the stem is in the dark, like under pumice or perlite, and leave dry for about 10 days, then check for roots every 8-10 days. Once you have good roots move to good soil and water.

We here in the Tampa Bay Area have what's called the Gasparilla Pirate Festival which includes a parade in late January. (It's mainly a money-making thing for all the snowbirds that are still here.) It's been going on for over a century. When I was a kid my grandma lived on a street that the parade went down and we saw it for several years in a row. But when my son got to be old enough to know what was going on I took him and couldn't believe what was going on. I vowed not to take him back. People were acting as if it was Mardi Gras and I'm talking broad daylight flashing and heavy drinking/drug activity. They finally started having a separate parade day for the children because a lot of families refused to go anymore. So I don't have anything against people who want to hoop and holler and act up in adult fashion but not around the kids.
