In the post about the
Philadelphia Flower Show , look at photo #19412 in post number 7.
Compare it to this work (Photo below) in process at the 2003 MidAtlantic, or to these better photos at
2003 MidAtlantic Show
No slur is intended on the person displaying the tree in Philly. Its provenance was well-known. However, I do feel that this may help clarify my question.
And, yes, I have another of the three trees Kobayashi did simultaneously.
Second and third photos are of "my" tree. As received by me, and yesterday.
Kobayashi advised the "tilt" Should it be greater?
