Hey Frank, it seems you'd have had to stand in line, lol! Quite a few people said they'd have taken it if I'd not already baggsed it! I feel very lucky to have been able to do so!

I'll be keeping my eye out for the right pot, I know there'll be one somewhere! :)

Thanks for the suggestions!

So this is where I'm at with this bougie now. Totally changed my mind on where to take it, and ended up shortening it by about a third.

The container is from Vic Harris at Erin, he made it for my crepe myrtle, but it's just a little too small, so the bougie got it. Reckon it works well?
