As promised, here are the pictures. I'm sad that leaf broke.
And also, I am worried about my basjoo. I read a thread here earlier to not buy it from southern part but rather buy it from northern part.

I bought it from ebay and she lives in Florida. OMG!
EDIT:
I just saw this thread,
Wintering Over Basjoo
I'm now more worried

I'm about 50 miles north of that the person that started that thread. That means, my area gets colder than his. I don't know if my basjoo is going to make it.
