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.

Subtopicals Are Doing Great

11 years ago

With all the rain, and now some sun, some plants are performing amazingly well, especially a few subtropicals.

Ceratozamia latifolia - in full bronze flush of new growth. I think the fronds will be at least five feet in length.

Pitcairnia sp. A bromeliad from South America. The flower spikes are about 6 feet in height.

Close up of the blooms.

Salvia puberula at 7 feet high.

Close up of the salvia flowers

Alstroemeria X 'Sweet Laura' got so tall she flopped, but is still putting on a show.
