Thanks KC&R!
Wasn’t sure if there was some kind of preference countback or something happening so didn’t want to pre-empt anything but your shout out is appreciated! :beer:
Regardless of the poll result, a big congrats to all who made it to the end and posted some pretty nice stuff after 3 (or 3.5) years… well done! Particular mention goes to yourself and Boom who also managed to score pretty well and grab a place too. There were a number of great entries.
Always fun to participate in stuff like this, so once again props to Rory for implementing the whole thing and generously donating the prizes. Hope everyone enjoyed the journey as much as I have.

Thanks Mel… ! I was pretty happy with the development I got and glad others also appreciated it. You won’t get progression like that from a pine seedling in 3 years (at least I don’t think you can)… there’s a lot to be said for natives! I think this comp helped to showcase their speed in development and a diversity of species. Perfect.
