The Green Room

According to a professor of theatre history, long before modern makeup was invented the actors had to apply makeup before a show and allow it to set up or cure before performing. Until the makeup was cured, it was "green" and people were advised to sit quietly in the "green room" until such time as the makeup was stable enough for performing. Uncured makeup is gone, but the green room lives on.

Pale Yellow


A pale yellow wash is so subtle it can seem almost transparent, as if you could put your hand to the wall and you might touch light itself. Pale yellow is, of course, an excellent choice for a summer cottage; it's the color of mid-summer, of lemon chiffon pies and lemonade in a big glass pitcher, swimming with ice. It's the color the air turns when you're out on the sandy beach and the sun is high in the stern blue sky.

Tropical Plants

This palm will require a good overhead light, especially when grown
indoors, and constant warmth. It's a very cold-sensitive plant and
must be kept above 55F all the time. Soil should be rich, moist and
loamy, and plant should be fed monthly with a commercial tropical
plant food, or a plant food specifically formulated for palms. It's
definitely worth an effort to grow this beauty!
