It was Jamies idea and I was pushed into it The judges will need all the thanks soon

Sorry Jamie A big thank you, I think Pup

all good people, i think this contest and discussion thread wasnt just sorted by one or two people. the collaboration of the group has made this happen and i think it is gonna be a huge success.

i should be the one apologizing to brett, we both had the same thoughts bout getting each other to do it i just go in first but in all honesty without bretts organisation, the very kind sponsorships of the judges and prize donations, it wouldnt of happened,
and to steven for approving it.
i think we will all learn something from young and old alike. i couldnt be more pleased than to be part of the organisation of the input etc aswell.

a big thank you to all who organised it, and to everyone who put their hands up for the interest in it. without the interest in the contest or the discussion it will invoke, it would not of happened.

well done to every one

kindest regards

ps. if i missed anyone apologies big thanks to those aswell

Amen to that, my friend!!
A HUGE thank you to everyone who's put in the time, effort and expertise to get this going!! I'm very excited about it, and glad it's finally happening!
A Brett special pot and/or a voucher would be nice, but I'm really in it to try something new and to learn alot!!

This was a $3 starter from ray almost 5 years ago. My second ever bonsai and still alive Ya!
After a few wrong ID's I did work out what spiecies it was but i forgot again. It might even be an aussie native? It has pretty little white flowers. Maybe someone here might know what it is.



I am sure its a "Clerodendrum inerme" mate! And yes they are native.
Sorry about the late reply

Thanks Shannon I did get a heads up from Mela on this one when i enterd it

I did not have the specific species though and nor did I know that it was a native.
Thanks Kindly

Did you hear that Pup this is a native so I expect extra points for that

Sorry Brett gone deaf again never been able to read Just for you mate.

I'd like to submit a couple of images here of plants that I'm considering for the literati competition.

The first is for the New Stock section - an elm that I dug up this week. For the Aged Stock I was considering this walnut, and this walnut in the Aged Stock Would these plants be acceptable for entry into the Literati Bunjingi Competition?

Jan

Yes Jan they are acceptable. In both categories.
They will need plenty of work. You now have to put them in for submission before the 30th of November. In the contest thread.

Good luck Pup

I think the first Wallnut is a ripper.

Thanks, Pup. I hope to learn a lot through the course of the competition and see an improvement in all three by the end. I'll organise my photos and get on with the submissions.

Thanks, Brett. I thought that the trunks of both made them worth trying to make someting of them over time.
