Look what I found ... Can anyone identify this hitchhiker ? Found on Shiva

I'm hoping it is not important to the eco-stucture as it is not alive anymore.

Okay ... Dilemma is this .
Cut Shiva a little early and use her space for stretching out both Olympia and Bonsai.
Or leave Shiva a while longer and remove the branches that aren't getting much light and airflow from Bonsai and Olympia.
There are bits on all 3 that can come off. It just makes it more difficult to keep a tally in the weights. Anyways a few pics .

Here's.... Bonsai

Here you see the shady area's within Olympia's stomping ground.
At the moment she is almost restricted.

This is one of Bonsai's branches, nice amount of browning .

Obviously there is no point introducing this one . Yet for shits and giggles or the new comers ... Here we see the elegant purple tint , worn by Shiva .

This one here is Shiva's prop . Her positioning here is important . Here allows me to work the 2 girls either side of her , fitting them in around her . Means I get to keep her until she is ready and no sacrifice was made this weekend 👍

This is one of several of Olympia's branches that have to come into Shiva's space.
This one below is the same branch . It is approximately 18" ( inches ) to 2 ft in length .

This is frame work or scaffolding. It's to keep Shiva in place . Hopefully we don't get any gale's or freak storms. All that rigidity.

Bonsai has offered me this half of a branch. I accept the offering in the knowledge that . Her sacrificing a part of one if her arms , will serve a meaningful purpose .

Lol. I'm going to have the top half off of Bonsai. Around 8 shooting branches , standing there so tall .
Definitely ready , I'm answering to the call .
