During our Japanese Festival club members had to stand guard of the trees on display. For three days, club members were at the Missouri Botanical Gardens from 8a.m. to 7p.m. guarding their trees. Some of us, like me, got bored. So I bought a $10 shimpaku and did a quick 15 min. project on my break. It is a Literati-like style. The 2nd picture shows the correct angle of the front. The first picture is a little off. Before I worked it, it was a ball of foliage.
