one:
we have five tickets to see five for fighting at the wiltern in LA this saturday, april 21st at 8pm. jeff and i bought tickets for us and the three oldest because they LOVE FFF. jeff has thrown his back and we arent going to be able to go now. if anyone is at all interested please email me. i dont want them to go to waste. you dont have to buy all five and ill sell them cheap! you’d probably have to be pretty local to me to have them by saturday night.

two:
we are having our bedrooms repainted and i cant choose between these two greens for the girls room. i had them color matched to my two favorite green cardstock colors. dont even know what color or brand they are. i love both of them for different reasons. tell me what you like best!
three:
we want to have this long grass planted on the slope in our backyard with a sprinkling of wildflowers here and there. we have asked at various garden centers trying to explain and no one knows what we are talking about. jeff took a photo of what we want. does anyone know what this grass/groundcover is called? its really popular here but no one knows what it is called!
thanks in advance for the help. i love you internet. :)
ed. tickets are taken! thank you so much! going with the lighter green. its soooo hard to choose but i think its what i want, and painter joe likes it best too. still not sure about the grass. i think maybe ill take that picture and post in a gardening forum or something? none of the pictures look quite like what we have here.
Hi Tara
Thought I would check up on your grass question and put my two cents in. I am a landscape architect and though I am not familiar with all the grasses that might be grown in California, my bet is that it is Mexican Feather Grass – Stipa tenuissima is the latin name. It is a very finey textured grass and has the characteristic moundy shape. The photo you show is not quite upright enough to be miscanthis and too finely textured to be liriope. The only way to be really sure is to take some close ups of the seed heads when it comes into flower later in the summer.
Cheers!
i know it’s probably not the technical term for it… but it was ALL over my neighborhood in mission viejo as a kid.. my parents called it Elephant Grass? we used to climb up to the top of the slope near the water tower on valpariso, and slide down the hill on cardboard boxes.. we too had it on our slope in the backyard.. good luck!
light green! They’re both lovely but take it from me who went with a darker shade of paint and i have tons of windows (amazing light) and the room is sizeable and it still looked overpowering and closed in. I wish every day i had picked the lighter – go nuts on ur accent colors
ask donna downey anyways shes the green xpert :D
they call that stuff “Monkey Grass” in Texas.

The grass is either a red fescue or a sheep fescue according to my hubby who majored in basically grass in college.
Hmmmm…I’m putting my vote in for light green…
and Tall Fescue. Before you plant consider cheking into grasses native to California..might save you some headaches later.
2 – The green on the left hand side, the lighter one is the most beautiful i think.
The grass may be Colonial bentgrass.
So what grass did you decide on? We’re all waiting to hear.
I have this grass growing on my berm. It’s a creeping red fesue. I love this stuff!!

I hope that link worked.
P.S. I like the darker green.
