Re: Spring 2014 Flowers colour
Nothing on what's been posted already, but, an interesting species I've only seen once or twice before and very pretty at that.
Anyone developing this species?? Ochna serrulata. Not just a stick in a pot...but a twisted stick in a pot at that!
Cheers!
Anthony

Reminds me of Pomegranate

Re: Spring 2014 Flowers colour
Cheers Ken! They're native to Sth.Africa but are an invasive plant here in Australia. The "flowers" you mention are actually seed pods forming. They (the green pod) turns black and is quite stunning...I'll post a pic as they ripen. Apparently they're popular amongst the Vietnamese community as bonsai subjects...a google image search will show. Common name is the Mickey Mouse bush.
here's another pic taken a few weeks back, the flowers are bright yellow and resemble a "buttercup".
Cheers!
Anthony

Re: Spring 2014 Flowers colour
Hi kcpoole,
So trident maples begin with a bronze colour after leaf break before going green? That's what my two are doing now although I'll admit they are both young and went without fertiliser during autumn and winter. Nice photos !!
Cheers,
Brad75.

Re: Spring 2014 Flowers colour
Yep brad.
My formal upright Trident is still almost red / brown all over. It will go green in a few weeks.
Others are already gone green

Re: Spring 2014 Flowers colour
My trident is in flower and I guess will be covered in seeds if I dont remove them all...and the flowers are so insignificant.

Re: Spring 2014 Flowers colour
Hi Ken,
Cheers,
Brad.
Wow! Guess it just depends on how much you actually work on your trees. Until this year I hadn't fertilised them so they were living in exhausted soil. Maybe time for these little starters to be repotted, or at the very least potted out in the open.kcpoole wrote:Yep brad.

Re: Spring 2014 Flowers colour
Few more flowers have popped up so I thought I'd add to this thread.
In order of appearance.
1. Cotoneaster flowers, buds and (soon to be) berries!
2. Crabapple I believe
3. Kunzea (not 100% sure on the exact species).
Maybe a few more in the coming weeks...

One of the fabulous things about growing bonsai is as you get old and decrepit your trees get old and beautiful

Re: Spring 2014 Flowers colour
Really like the little lantana Ken. Does anyway know if it is allowed to dig lantana from the side of the roads, specifically queensland. I would assume it would be okay?
