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.

Difference between perennial & annual

16 years ago

I have a lot of violets growing in my yard, a bit weedlike actually. I don't know how to tell if they are perennials or if they are reseeding. Is there a particular leaf shape or flower color that tends toward one or the other?
