Notes from the School House



lstroemeria ( /ˌælstrɨˈmɪəriə/; syn. Alstremeria),[1] commonly called the Peruvian Lily or Lily of the Incas, is a South American genus of about 120 species of flowering plants. Almost all of the species are restricted to one of two distinct centers of diversity, one in central Chile, the other in eastern Brazil. Species of Alstroemeria from Chile are winter-growing plants while those of Brazil are summer-growing. All are long-lived perennials except A. (Taltalia) graminea, a diminutive annual from the Atacama Desert of Chile.

These are the flowers that Mike gave me on my birthday and still looking strong.Miguel was here yesterday and took this shot.
He did a great job in capturing this.



While he was still taking photograph and took a shot of my neighbor barn.
Isn't that great I loved it and shared it with my neighbor.
Now just look at this for a spell.
Here is the shocker,well not sure if it is or not.
These couple are in their fifties.
They are planing a bed and breakfast soon to happen in the fall.
The place in dire need for a paint job.
They were not too much in a hurry about doing this till they can find the color that they want.
Last night at my other neighbor house we had a cook out and they came over with the steak.Yum.
We also had crab cakes and pasta salad etc.
It was an enjoyable evening and more enjoyable living across the street.
Finally she showed up the color that they or she picked.
Surprised?Purple,yes purple three shades of purple.
Not fifty shades of grey.LOL.
This is a very early Victorian house.
She asked well what do you think.
If this is what you chose then do it.
Not my place to say wether I liked it or not.
It may be great and will see.
It could be fun.
can wait to see in the fall if they go through with this.
Will end this "Happy Mothers Day to All"

Jeri,told me about this place in Eureka Spring,Ark.
I checked out the homes there and did not realized that there were many Victorian homes.
Most of these are B and B and the color were three shades of purple.
So,told my neighbor on this and she will checked it out.
Yes,we are excited seeing Jeri and Ted.OK.going to see some live cowboys.

I have seen a lot of Victorian Houses painted in several shades of a color
like purple or blue or yellow. It is very pleasing if they get the combination right. Eureka Springs Arkansas has a lot of these painted
ladies and they look just right. Most of them are bed and breakfasts.

your right.I surf the web on this and saw it.Not bad.Maybe this is where she got the idea.
reply by fredo on May 14, 2012 11:24 AM ()
I don't remember seeing it. Pretty awesome, however. It should stand out when painted!
comment by solitaire on May 14, 2012 4:49 AM ()
Yes,have seen a few online.Jeri pointed out to me where you can find some.
reply by fredo on May 14, 2012 11:24 AM ()
Those flowers are absolutely gorgeous. Purple, I don't know, but it might be lovely. Hope so!!
comment by redimpala on May 13, 2012 10:27 PM ()
Yes,it could be right.These are common in Eureka S.AK.Jeri told me about this and checked it out.
Not bad.Most of these are B&B

What beautiful flowers, Fredo! Bloom on!
Looking forward to seeing that house when it's finished. I have seen purple accent tones on a Victorian house, but not the main color palate. It will be eye-catching, that's for sure.

purple? Interesting.
comment by kristilyn3 on May 13, 2012 4:25 PM ()
That is your neighbor's barn/house? It looks like a schoolhouse!
comment by dragonflyby on May 13, 2012 12:20 PM ()
this is my neighbor house.The barn is what your looking at.This is the side of the house.
It is a grand Victorian house and one of the oldest here in our town.

If the main color is more like gray purple with brighter purple trim, it sounds very pretty. I love that picture - the angles made by the roofs.
comment by troutbend on May 13, 2012 10:26 AM ()
She has three shades of purple Bright,dull or maybe great like you say.
Maybe this will work out.
