It's a very fine composition overall. I like the dead wood, particularly from above. The flowers are another world entirely!

Re: [NATURAL] Melaleuca Thymifolia - Keep Calm and Ramify
Although my last set of pics were my final judging submission - here a few shots to show that this tree is still alive upon completion of competition.
It's been let to grow untouched (except for it's hair net..
) to encourage more trunk development & age.
Great fun & some good looking trees being posted

This little Mel has been flowering continuously for the past 2 months.
Slowly developing some more bark texture...ever so slowly...

That's beautiful KCAR. I've been leaving mine to fill out and hopefully flower one day soon. Yours has given me hope.

Mmm, I like it more in flower, that is not to say I didn't like it before its just that the flowers add an extra layer of attraction.
