Thanks to the VNBC for putting a great show.
The sales area was excellent too - I missed out on a chunky Allocasuarina by a few seconds, but got a promising toulosa (a species I've struggled to find in Victoria) as a condolence.

I didn't set out to create an encyclopaedic catalogue, but the lighting in the morning was great – I couldn't help but take a few dozen phone shots.

This kunzea yamadori was massive, with lots of intricate deadwood.

Fabulous! So enjoyable to see those great native trees - and so many of them, beautifully styled/shaped.
Thank you, Dendrophile Dave and Promethius.

torulosa! Autocorrect has gone off the rails recently.

Some wonderfully free-form trees here, I'm assuming they're collected Kunzeas - the foliage harmonises with the collected trunks really well, and there are some delightful trunk contours and lines - well done indeed!
