Two good news about this little sapling (Leptospermum Scoparium White):

1- It's alive. After 1 year. Good because I have killed a bunch of Manukas in the meantime.

2- It's naturally going to the direction I wanted. Why? It's on a windowsill, all the sun is from one side, auxins don't like the luminosity so they concentrate on the opposite side. And then the plant elongates from the "dark side" and out it goes to the sunside.
Now we clip, it grows, we clip, it grows...
For at least 5 years.

I don’t know from where you pull out all of those flowering beauties, but till now that one is my favorite after your avatar.

The lucky climate. I’m already jealous for the reptiles what you have there.

Thanks, Auk.
As for the pictures, I've been a professional fashion photographer for 40 years. Vogue, Elle, Mary Kay and the such.
Now I am a fineart pro printer (large format).
Believe me, all those pictures I post here are from a cell phone.

Painfully aware of that. I recently bought a better camera... But I am not making better photos...

Some of the current cellphones have incredible cameras, even supporting the RAW format.
I like photography myself, just signed up for an online course 2 weeks ago, ordered pro background and hopefully in a year or 2 I will be able to set up my home studio (just for fun of it).
Good to know we have a pro photographer here and I can bother him with questions!!!
