Those are good choices. I do have a few comments. I don't have Golden Gate but my sister does. To my eye it looks more similar to Sunny Delight or Sun Power. It is upright and wavy. It is a very beautiful plant. King Tut was a standout for me this year. I've had it since 2009 but aparently it's been in the wrong spot. I now know it needs sun to color. It was in a place with morning sun and always stayed kind of blaa and greenish. I moved it to a west facing hot spot. It was the plant that knocked me out. It seemed to glow from within. It is domed shaped vs Golden Gate's upright look. Unfortunately I will have to move it again next year. It loved the sun but later in the summer bleached to almost white so location is probably the key to this one's best location. You asked about placement. That is an individual choice. I think what looks good to you will work. There are places I have reverses of the same plant to show off similarity and contrast. Abiqua Recluse with Paradigm and Academy Blushing Recluse for instance. I also have Satisfaction next to Summer Serenade. When I moved King Tut this year I put a duplicate of Grand Prize in its place in the shadier garden. Grand Prize grows so well and in the shade keeps the yellow border. I realized what a difference the smaller plant made in that garden. King Tut was the same basic size as most of the hostas around it. The smaller Grand Prize showed everybody up much better. I'm now conscious of keeping from having a 'sea' of similar sized hostas where they all blend together. Again, it's just a matter of personal preference. Go with what pleases you.

Dreaming, oh, I thought I needed a bathroom fridge for my cold cream. :) And it probably doesn't cost much. Babka, yesterday at the glass/mirror shop they told me that if I wanted a framed mirror to get the frame first and then they'd do the rest. I need to go back and get some idea of prices. You're right, I could get a decent frame. I could also get a frame that matches my vanity, although I'm not sure I need to match it, just coordinate with it which is more my speed. I don't see what's so wrong with a little vertical storage at eye level. Do you put your hydrogen peroxide and Pepto Bismol in a drawer? Don't you just see bottle caps and have to lift it up to see what it is? The medicine cabinet I have now in the photo is horrible faux wood crap. It might find a home in my garage, but not even the mirror is worthy. may_flowers, Mirror Mate looks pretty cool and isn't too expensive. I'm not keeping my existing mirror. My vanity is just 30" high, so with a new one at 36" and making sure the lights don't overhang the mirror, I need to get something smaller, at least not as high. It might end up that a new mirror and frame will work out better. I wouldn't have a recessed cabinet in the side wall if it didn't have a mirror. It may be that electrical in there would need to be moved in order to recess so that's something to consider. I'm not sure I love the look of a magnifying mirror on an extendable arm. I don't really need a magnifying mirror.

I'm impressed all to bits Hazel!!....lovely job!!... : )) I did the layers the same way you did....otherwise it got a little confusing....I also kept renaming my layers (1,2,3 etc) because I found my V8 would reverse the order of the layers when I duplicated them; it would put layer 9 at the top instead of layer 1...this way it was easier to keep them in order...

Thank you Sue, and I was thinking just the opposite. I like the look of everyone else's. I thought my opacity or something else just was not right. Carol
