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.

botanical names from Hawaiian common names

20 years ago

I've got my hands on 2 plants that are simply labelled "Nu'I" and another "'Uki 'Uki"

Can anyone correlate each to a botanical name?

THanks!
