Looks like it's lost its lead shoot.

PS wouldn't it be easier to take photos during the day, rather than at night?

Its a graft but im going to train up a shoot easy
with a fast growing species.I think night photos
show the plant off better.

I will be in Durango, Colorado tomorrow. Any connection, or is the name derived from a location in Mexico?
I will check out any nurseries there nevertheless.

From the state of Durango in Mexico. It'd be nice to go there, but like much of Mexico, isn't too safe at the moment.

Yes, Resin, I know what you mean. I was in Alcapulco last October. The day after I left, 26 people were gunned down in a drug war confrontation. Alcapulco is not a border town where most of the violence is happening. I felt safer in Cartagena, Columbia!

Actually Mexico is pretty safe for tourists. I have been their many times. Most of the murders are among the Mexicans themselves over drugs.
