Hi Gavin,

It is coming along. Time will tell on how well. Last weekend I had time to work on the sructure of the primary and secondary branching which will give me something to work with over the next growing season.The accents are bulbs and will be back next year. As far as repotting goes,I will probably repot in 2014.
