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.

Enjoying "Orange Smith" On This December Day

4 years ago
last modified: 4 years ago

"Orange Smith" was collected on the grave of a Civil War veteran -- Orange Smith -- in a Gold Rush era cemetery.

At first glance, "Orange Smith" looks to be 'Archduke Charles,' but it generally has fewer petals, with more substance. 'Archduke Charles' often failed to open here, but "Orange Smith" never has that problem.

This is the first of a number of sprays and single blooms of "Orange Smith", maturing in the shade of 'Bishop Darlington' on this foggy December 5.

    Yeah, It's pretty gorgeous. And it changes. Blood red buds open to porcelain pink, and slowly darken to blood red.
