Well I have done the maths, crunched the numbers and had a recount, yes it was just 1 vote in it, that was all! Before announcing the winner, I would like to thank you all for taking part in this fun vote, there was nearly 1000 votes placed, Thank you all very much!

Oh! I’m surprised but no matter which plant is victorious, they are all beautiful! Thank you for doing it.
It’s a fix! I guess the acceptance speech when you present the award will be a bit wooden (groan)! Though I must admit that photo of the flaking bark emerging from a mass of Ophiopogon (?) is rather stunning.
Haha John made me chuckle, I won’t paper it over though 😉 I think that’s what sung in its favour
What?!? That is . . . well, . . . okay I guess. It is just not what I expected. Perhaps all those intriguing flowers are not so intriguing to an audience that can grow many of them more easily than I can.
It did surprise me a bit as well, I have a feeling it could be the picture as well
