Now this is an extreme rarity. It is a ponderosa pine, Pinus ponderosa which is about 15 cm high only (6 inches!). For some silly reason I totally missed before images. Well, anyway, it was collected in Wyoming a few years ago. Today I plucked the old needles and wired it right away. This will be a jewel eventually.
