Gee, folks.
Wasn't planning on entering when I bought a $6 weeping Barbados cherry just because I thought it would be good in a cascade pot I had. So, I didn't take any before photos.
Well, it's still probably too modest for the contest, but I'm very happy with it.
(Got to use a whole bunch of 1mm wire.) Besides, it needs time to develop.
Sometimes it's just better to let things flow and not worry about competition. At least in my case.
Good luck to you all. I am looking forward to the results (and to the How did you do that discussions.)
