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.

8 Petal Pumpkin Flower

14 years ago

I've been growing pumpkins for 7 years and I've never seen a flower with more than 5 petals, but this plant has a flower with 8 and one with 6. Is this common?
