Judges' Comments
Pretty little display for the carnivorous plants and the flowers from the Pings are beautiful! The display is very reminiscent of ikebanas that I've seen in the past and is charming. This being an aquatic plant contest, I would have liked to have sees some aquatic plants integrated into the display. Great job!

This is tremendously unique and beautiful display. It teeters comfortably between the world of wabi kusa and riparium with great success. The display feels almost flower-arranged, reminiscent of ikebana. Using such a unique vessel does limit the display regarding its submerged portion, though, the transition is a visibly smooth gesture. Minor humidity damage to the emergent grasses is unsightly, but is visibly overpowered by the beautiful blossoms present in this display. Great work!

Very zen-like and the flowers are a nice touch. Almost looks like ikebana with live plants!
