Hi there, I've read that it is true you will get all green spider plants from seeds of varigated plants. This is a quote from a web page I've found... "All the variegated Spider Plants are chimeras. The way we usually propagate the Spider Plant is from the baby plants on the stolons, which is an examle of asexual reprodution where there is no gamete fusion. Therefore there is no genetic variation and every new generation consists of genetically identical individuals as the parent generation. This is the reason why you will get all green plants if you breed new plants from the seeds of variegated plants. I've tried that with the two older variegated varieties that I have (White-Striped Spider Plant & Reverse Spider Plant), only getting all green plants. I am planning to do that with the Bonnie variety too, to see if I can get a smaller all green variety! I have had no success yet, though. The only way to get more plants looking the same as the mama plant is to use the baby plants on the stolons." I'll add the link to this web site. There is a lot of great spider plant information on there. If you look at the bottom of the page in the "facts" section, you will see the information above. I hope this helps! Here is a link that might be useful: Spider Plant Link

Likely that a piece of drip edge of the valley metal is a bit kinked up there. That or that the shingle hasn't laid down yet with heat. When was the roof put on? If it doesn't lay down after a couple of warm days, I would ask the roofer to come back out to fix that small section and hand seal those couple of shingles.

Tea roses (which hybrid teas are hybrids of) are from a monsoon climate. They are adapted to drought dormancy, rather than cold dormancy. They have to basically be hit over the head, repeatedly, by cold, to even begin to think of going dormant. In a climate like mine, where precipication is pretty evenly distributed throughout the year, it isn't uncommon for HTs to not go dormant, and then get hit hard when the cold shows up.

I have had a Blanco composite sink for 10+ years and have never had water droplets stick to the sides of the sink. I also do not have any pooling around the drain.
