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.

Before and After

11 years ago

i love seeing the difference that a month with good soil and light and food will do to an Optimara that was in bad shape when it was bought at Lowes. :) This is a deep dark green with a beautiful rich red leaf back. the bloom color is plain deep purple/blue... but wow... i LOVE the foliage. so well behaved and symetrical! I'm a big fan of symetrical! :)

anyhow... heres the pic. before i repotted it and took off ugly leaves it was a typical leggy, sparse storebought violet. heres what it looks like now!
