Awesome!
Thanks for the effort!


What are the white flowering trees?
One of the fabulous things about growing bonsai is as you get old and decrepit your trees get old and beautiful

Well worth the trip elljuu. The show, although smallish, is brilliant in quality and layout and the people are so very, very friendly. The town is a great spot to visit as well, with heaps of stuff to see and do, although the show could be held a little earlier in the year - it was HOT last year - even if the locals did try and convince me it wasn't :D :D

Like I said, well worth the trip. (and the Motel I stayed at let me tip all my potting medium in their garden ;) )

I have family up there. My husband and I were up there for our honeymoon when ita came to visit. My family wanted a BBQ in the middle of a cyclone!

I will definitely have to go up for the show.
