The plant gets mostly sun during the day. It is in my backyard in San Diego, about a mile inland from the beach. It is watered well by drip system every third day. It is flourishing after being transplanted from another location. When it was transplanted (about two months ago), I cut it back and added soil ammendment and slow release fertilizer to the planting hole. One branch is loaded with very tiny greenish white flowers. They seem to be falling off before they fully develop (but they do seem to be opening). The blossoms are supposed to be very fragrant at night, but I don't smell anything. It has been getting cooler at night (60-68 degrees) here for the past week or so. Could this be why it's not fragrant?
I planted this plant for its fragrance, so I'm very dissapointed that I can't smell anything and would like to know if something I am doing is causing the flowers to drop, or perhaps the nursery sold me a mis-labelled plant.
Thank you

About two weeks ago we bought a house and moved in. The house had been empty for quite awhile so when we had brown water coming out of the faucets, we didn't think anything of it. Now we still have it sometimes when we first turn the water on in the kitchen. We have city water. Any ideas what is causing this?

I have a white patent leather purse that has two small ink marks; one is regular ballpoint and the other is from a rollerball pen. I have tried toothpaste, hairspray, ajax with bleach (amazingly it didn't ruin the patina) and soap. How do I get this ink out? Do I have to rub the patina off?

Sounds weird, but I just moved into a new cottage and there is a small yard with thousands of house flies that swarm up when you walk across the grass. They have not left in the week that I've been here, and none of the other neighbors seem to have the problem. On the surface nothing seems to be wrong, except for the flies. There's no garbage, compost, etc. that I am aware of. What could this be from? (Looking for helpful answers, please)

When you're in a tomb as long as me, they tend to accumulate.

We are currently remodeling our kitchen and I have always wanted a stainless steel sink so it can match all of our appliances. I keep hearing how hard they are to manage and they have to be wiped down after every use. Is it worth it or should we get a white sink? I really want the stainless steel sink. Any thoughts and advice would be great. Thank you.

Seriously. I live in an old home & when the water mixture of hot & cold are just right the pipes often squeal so loudly I have to readjust the two temperatures just to stop it.
