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.

Milkweed plants

13 years ago

All of my milkweed plants had been stripped of their leaves by monarch cats. I don't know if any of the cats made it to the next stage as they all disappeared. Now my milkweed plants are all leafed out again and starting to bloom. Not having any luck with any butterflies visiting my garden. Although I have Pentas, salvia, butterfly bushes, firespike and lantana all blooming.
