There were some very close earlier guesses (actually the next closest was our prize donator Scott Roxburgh with TM 356mm), but Fireworks guessed it exactly. Please PM me your address Fireworks and I'll get the seeds into the post for you.

Hi everyone,
Just like Hackimoto wrote [quote][/quote]
My method of measuring was, enlarge the photo, print it, measure it and submit the height.
Just "joshing" folks. It was simply a lucky guess.
Good luck with the next competition.
Thanks to Steven and Scott for all the fun that you have created.
