Thanks Anthony and I agree :-)
that photo shows the immaturity of the bottom left branch which has slowly been developing to fill in the space there. I hope this year it will be better again,

The foliage is a nice deep green this year, and so far has had 3 brachts to enjoy as a contrast. :tu:

The lower left branch fillng out slowly but still a year or 2 till i think it "finished" :tu:
