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.

Blooms on a hot Monday

2 years ago

It's really quite hot out there today. It continues to be dry, dry, dry here. The grass has turned brown except where Bob has watered. We aren't at peak yet, but we are getting close. Peak for us is usually just before the 4th of July.


A question was posed in another post about the vigor of Feanorian Lamps. Here is our clump. The plant is rather petite, but it has increased quite well for us.


Mantis asked for a clump shot of Love All Serve All.



Rocky Top has really performed this year.


Primal Scream


Rosy Spiketail has been lovely.


The Bride of Dracula


After sulking for a couple of years, Tropical Fusion is looking good.


This is the seedling Queen of the Garden. It is Gryphon Chelsea London X Tet. Rose F. Kennedy. I think this one will be an intro.


I hope the sepals straighten up on this one. It is Love All Serve All X (Lavender Oasis X Tet. Rose F. Kennedy). We like this one because of the teeth.


That's enough for me today.

Nancy
