BAW in all of it's splendor. This thing is just so amazing I can't believe it sometimes. For scale, the Calendula flowers are between 1.5 and 3in in diameter. The cage that BAW is in helped it stand up through a bit of a windstorm yesterday where it only lost one branch. Last year I'd have lost the entire plant. I'm beginning to believe that these cages are exactly what we were looking for to support our plants.

hope everyone is well, and please show KKKatie when you have a chance Sudhira
