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.

First Seedling To Bloom

8 years ago

Dragonfly Dawn/Katherine Caldwell Seedling #4

Quite a lot of scapes on the seeds planted in 2016. This is the first to bloom, so first flower ever. I plan to be really tough evaluating which will stay and which will go, and so far this one probably won't make the cut.

    Remember that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. If you don't want to keep it, see if there is someone who might appreciate having it. Last year I got blooms on the eleven seedlings that survived from my first cross. I kept only the four I personally like, and now regret doing that, because someone else might have liked having them.
