Quads -4 Bambino's

Post by alpineart »

These were picked up for $15

at a nursery in Melbourne , having traveled several times for medical reasons i decide to take some time out while the wife was being taken care of . I actually went to look for some natives for the 2011 Native Comp alas these jumped out and pleaded "rescue" considering i looked at a couple of these with my wife a few weeks ago they were in hanging baskets , so i grabbed them at the bargain price of 4 for $12 originally $24.95 so it was a bargain to be had . Plenty of good movement to work with

I decided to use 1 as a root over rock due to the root mass

Good on ya Alpine :cool: You have a natural eye for picking up good trainers. Not the first time i have seen you pick up a bargain and turn it into something.
