My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Flower descriptions?

18 years ago

I am a relative newbie (1 year)to gardening and to cannas. I winter sowed a few seeds and traded for several other cannas. I have discovered that I don't care for the narrow flowers, but that I absolutely adore the big flowers. What is the proper terminology for describing the different shapes of the flowers?
