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.

Yellow blooming ID

6 years ago

While driving along a country road today I saw a mass of bright yellow. They were growing in a dry, sandy/gravely roadbank. The straplike leaves had stiff hairs on both sides which laid in one direction. Location is Maryland, clearly a fall bloomer, can you name it? Pix to follow.

    Thanks for the ID, interesting that Swamp Sunflower does not require wetland conditions. The flowers were busy with pollinators. I'll have this sunflower over supermarket mums anyday.
