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.

Hosta Great Expectations?

8 years ago

I, um, ”borrowed” this plant from my Mother In Laws house before she moved in. ;P


dont worry - she was cool with it since she doesn’t like hostas. No, I don’t know what’s wrong with her...


does this his look like Great Expectations to you guys? Most of the plants at her house seem the slightly more interesting common varieties (Abiqua drinking guard, Sagae, etc) and I’m thinking GE might be right for this one.


thoughts? Sorry about the hickory blossoms, they’re crazy this year!
