My entry.

It looked like I wasn't going to be able to find one, but I finally scored one. Not the best but lets see what I can do with it.

At least yours has some character to it :cool:
 
Here's my entry. It's a blue rug from Home Depot. There wasn't much to pick from but I think I have some ideas of what I can do with this.

I ran into some of the same problems as some of the others have been reporting. Not a whole lot to choose from, especially this time of the year. I almost bailed out, but then I said, What the heck, it is a friendly competition, Just go for it.

So, here is my juniper, in all it's glory. For now. The ax comes out of the shed tomorrow......;)

I also have a tale of woe. Struck out at Lowes, Wallmart and several others. Finally found this "Charlie Brown". Species unknown in a stack of no one wants me plants. Will need an extra dose of imagination to turn this pigs ear into a silk purse.

That's the spirit! I don't know about everyone else but I do sense a friendlier tone on this forum lately. Good stuff...


Do you Vin ? Why don't you go eff yourself !! :p


There's always one aint there . ;)


It does seem more friendly here lately though, I wonder if it will last through the judging process ... :rolleyes:

Whatever happens, the last couple weeks prove there can be civility in a sea of Type A Personalities. A$$ WIPE ;)
 
I am a Pro at crastination, so here's my entry.

I found this Juniper 'Sargenti' - Juniperus Chinensis at Home Depot for $7.98 . I have not seen a Sargent's in a long time ! Great soft needle foliage that matures to scale foliage.
Sargents by edprocoat, on Flickr

It looks like a twin trunk, maybe 1/2 inch each. Most were really crowded with dead brown foliage inside with growth near the long branch tips. I pulled it open, amazingly plenty of new buds popping on the trunk and branch bases despite being shaded by the dead foliage which has me excited about this little tree.
