Aquatic Plant Humor

Post by John G »

These quotations are from The Aquatic Gardener, Oct-Dec 2008, in the descriptions of landscapes that won ADA prizes:

“Many judges graded this composition highly…allowing this composition to win first prize.â€

I've heard of really sincere pumkin patches before, so I guess there is precedent. :)

Actually, I prefer Amano's comment on this particular entry:

"The foreground is ugly."

It's amazing that guy continued in the hobby, after being shot down by the master on his first attempt at an aquascaping competition. ;-)

"The foreground is ugly."

Kris I'm sure that was a mistake, perhaps by Amano's translator. I have it on good authority that what he intended to say was: “We see a distinct character in the layout influenced by Columbia, MD, culture.â€

Probably would have looked better with $30 worth of ADA soil on top! :mrgreen:
