My Results from the DG 2010 Photo Contest

Winners were announced today for the Dave's Garden 2010 Photography Contest, and I managed to pull a 2nd place in the Tropicals and House Plants category:

Tillandsia bulbosa

And a Runner-Up in the Containers category:

Jatropha cathartica

Not too shabby, right?  Of course, I submitted several other photos in a few other categories, but there were a lot of good entries.  I hope everyone checks them out!

    Thank you, everyone! Yay!

    To answer a couple questions:

    Linda - The backdrops were poster board. White poster board for the first, and a gold metallic one for the second.

    Candy - It's an annual thing, so it won't be till next year around the same time.

    Evelyn - Thanks! Both are mine. The tillandsia is unfortunately no longer with us, but the jatropha is doing just fine.
