We all have our collections of ugly plants -- leftover cuttings, seedlings that grew funny, etc. I usually just toss them out into the yard and let the lawnmower take care of them next go around.

But I have something of a soft spot for crape myrtles, even the hideous ones. Here are 7 trees (9 trunks), three stones, and a little stream.

Who knows, some day it might even amount to something.

I think it looks pretty sweet Jim! So glad you didn't feed them to the lawn mower. Thanks for sharing...I really need to think of a small forest/penjing grouping. They intrigue me...once July settles down...I might find time for something like that. I'm also going to search for a good raft project.

I like it a lot! I've developed quite the soft spot for crape myrtles lately too. A local nursery stocks pokomoke and I have to admit that I've taken quite a few off their hands lately.

Thanks. They're fun to do but it takes a bit of thought to make them look "real."

The desert is a bit overgrown at the moment, but it is alive and kicking.
