looks like an excellent show---------5th from the bottom -******1104.jpg--seems to me to be a strange choice for a stand for such a fantastic native tree

Cheers Watto! Agree tgward, I suspect it would have lost points in judging for that one, but hey, if the owner likes it, then that's all that matters, yes?

Thanx for sharing the photos.
Great to see a "temple bells" I suspected these would make great bonsai.
Some lovely trees here.
One of the fabulous things about growing bonsai is as you get old and decrepit your trees get old and beautiful

Very good video - shows the amount of work that goes into such as show! I enjoyed watching the way the photos were taken too. At least I think it was someone taking photos- it looked like the camera was on some form of trolley- perhaps to ensure a similar perspective for all photos? Cheers for the great thread; you’ve captured the plants and the show very well.
