Judges' Comments

Great use of the Echinodorus red and I love the red leaf that stands out in the Wabi Kusa. The plants look vibrant and healthy and there is a beautiful mix of colors and textures that really make this Wabi Kusa stand out. I also like the minimal use of wood that complements the rest of the Wabi Kusa and works well in the vessel chosen. Great job!

— Bailin Shaw

A striking composition with excellent height and presence. The vibrant coloration of the Echinodorus creates a strong focal point and adds considerable visual interest. Plant husbandry is clearly a strength, with healthy growth and a thoughtful selection of species. The hardscape is integrated with restraint, providing structure and depth without competing with the plants.

— Jack McCarley

Very good choose of plants and well positioned. Just as it should be: Simple and natural. Well done!

— Andre Longarco

Taking the photo from that angle makes it look much more artistic and a good call. Leaf colors and selection is very good, and the addition of small pieces of wood keeps the perspective going throughout the arrangement. Pop of red leaves is a nice addition as well as a touch of moss .
