here's my virt; the styling of this configuration can go many ways. build one big helmet canopy or many articulated pads, which will turn into a helmet if not kept in line.

Hi Antonio,
I can feel these are great starts. Under your custodianship I think they will turn out great.
Keep good documentations, we never know, one day AusBonsai might do a publication, and
we all have our progressions in it
Best regards.

I collected some about a month ago, and they seem to be doing really well
i too had the problem when i lifted them the fibrous roots broke off really easily
i did collect a few a couple of years ago, which could of been closer to summer - 9 out of 10 survived
