I see only one way to find the truth - to order "Windy Hills" and to compare.

Okay! I did!

Update. ...

Last year in June I took my 'Oaxaca' to my society and it got a second place ribbon because it only had one spike.

This year, I took it last weekend and got a first and a grower's commendation ribbon for culture. 19 growths with three spikes.

So, I went to bonsai west and bought another pot, and then went to Marilyn and bought a division of 'Windy Hill'.

This is a great plant. Anyone who doesn't yet have one should get one and Marilyn LeDoux has a nice sale going on now. Go. Go! Buy one now! oke:

Thanx for the photos. You should show the whole plant. It looks to be doing well. I haven't had time to order mine from Marilyn yet, new OL hybrids and all.

 

[Heather]

The whole plant is pictured earlier in this thread, Eric.

 

[NYEric]

Updated?

 

[Heather]

Here you go, it was in the other thread.

 

[NYEric]

How big is that "pot"? and how much does the thing weigh!?

 

[Heather]

Um, it's about 8"x10". I've no idea what it weighs, and no, I'm not going to weigh it for you.
