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.

Double balloon flower bloomed today

11 years ago

This is Platycodon grandiflorus 'Hakone Double Blue.' I think it is quite charming. I was not expecting to see a bloom this year, so a pleasant surprise.

    LOVELY Arlene! I love balloon flowers. Not many of my wintersown seeds sprouted, I have a few hanging in there, but dont seem to be growing much.
