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.

Orange-flowered ginger relative

8 years ago

I bought a sad nursery specimen late last year, never knew exactly what it was, and thought it was a goner when it failed to return in early spring after our hard freeze in January - but in late spring it returned, and recently started blooming - should be easy to identify, even though I have no clue...

    There are yellow and pink globbas Aka dancing ladies. I don’t know why I can’t keep them alive so gave up. I have plenty other tropicals to keep me happy.

    Like this ginger, it doesn’t get taller than 5’ and flowers are so fragrant. I’ve never been to Hawaii but feel certain that it smells like my kitchen right now.
