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.

Lilies

NEVER thought I'd say this:

19 years ago

I think I have too many lilies. I started planting more Orienpets, and they are amazingly sturdy. They grow taller and come back more reliably than all my other lilies. They are also fragrant. To me, it's a scent similar to gardenias.

And there's the problem: I like the scent of gardenias, but with as many lilies as I planted (over a dozen), it's overwhelming in my small, enclosed back garden!

Can I bear to remove even one of the lilies? Absolutely not! They are also too beautiful visually to even think of it. Ah, well...consider this a word of warning before you order 24 or 48 Orienpet bulbs when John Scheepers puts its bulbs on clearance in late Fall.
