Some people like bungie jumping, some people light themselves on fire and ride motorcycles for TV cameras, some people swim in freezing water just because they can.... well, there's something for everyone in this big world of ours.

And the post that started it back up isn't about Art anyway... it's the "care rules". He's right, of course, you can't get away from the rules of horticulture, which is a different subject than this thread was to begin with. Or was it? I'm going to go have some tea.... some days it doesn't pay to attempt ironic humor...

in the words of Capt Barbossa (Pirates of the Caribbean): "The rules are more what you'd call 'guidelines.'"

lol... great quote Jo!!!


my two cents:

I would only break artistic rules once I have a through knowledge of said design rules. Of course we can't forget the fact that we're working with live trees which don't always conform to the rules. But at that point it boils down to selecting good stock to begin with.

Regards,

Ever wonder how many people actually know the rules, much less understand them.
