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.

Name That Plant!

What are these large leafy plants?

5 years ago

I thought this might be some type of broadleaf plantain, maybe Plantago major or P. rugelii. But when I did an image search all of those species seem to have leaves that look similar to these but they all looked concave, or cupped whereas mine seem more convex. The leaves on the species mentioned also seem to have much longer stems and have a more spindly look to them. My specimens were found in a wooded area with many clumps of these plants scattered around the forest floor. They are in SW lower Michigan spotted on September 16
