Hi all,
I participated in the Sunday AM workshop and was delighted with the outcome. My pommegranite clump might have a furure as penjing after some growing, wiring and planting onto a suitable tray. (never before have I completed a workshop without touching wire)

And here is the Virt... I'm defintiely neither a Bonsai master nor am I a Virt Master!

But the vision for this tree was something along the lines of this..

Oh, by the way...big mistake putting my photos up in the post immediately after "Miyagi's Canon"....Amazing...absolutely amazing.. Spewing I didnt get there but was held up with something else and couldnt get away until it was too late.. Will not be letting anything hald me back from getting there tomorrow night!

Ant you did not show the "before" photo of Miyagi's canon, the transformation is amazing.
Has Miyagi seen it yet?
WE HAVE ALL BEEN "BLOWN AWAY" BY THE CANON
