Lovely... and, goodness, what is the last blue one??  (And I'm always leery of 'trapped moisture', and wondered about the dry insulation plus wet cob making a trapped moist condition in the wall?  I'm sure this has been very well thought thru, so I won't worry :)  Thanks for the updates!

It's time to get positive about negative thinking    -Art Donnelly

Nancy, I don’t know what the blue flower is! I keep seeing them here, though.

Regarding the trapped moisture, we have gone back and forth about it and have some concerns, especially in the humid environment of the greenhouse, but we are going forward with it and will report back. There is no vapor barrier, so theoretically the moisture shouldn’t be actually trapped.

Nancy / Jen. Do you mean that blue hyacinth? Or the even blueer 'grape hyacinth' (Muscari)?
