There are some nice prizes so far with a couple more to come, the thing is that we need enough excitement and entries to make this contest a go. Any suggestions? Or are we all just sandbagging? Will

Of course, at the end there were plenty of entries. Give it some time, you will find most people like to procrastinate. __________________ "Success demands understanding"-Andy Rutledge Charles Bevan Vero Beach, Fl

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.) Last edited by Bart Thomas : 7-Mar-2005 at 09:55 AM.

I bought what looked like a nice juniper last weekend, but on closer inspection it's a reject for instant result and will have to go in to the ground for a few years yet. Back to searching the nurseries. Mike __________________ I refuse to have a battle of wits with an unarmed person

Now I just have to wait until the end of April for the nurseries to open and start looking for stock for the 2006 styling contest... Cody

My local greenhouse sez there won't be any major shipments for a couple of weeks. __________________ Sonlight Nursery Green Country Bonsai Society
