Australia Day, Australian Native display
Hi all.
Following on the theme of the discussion generated on natives, I thought we should have an Australian native bonsai display for Australia Day. Its a chance for a bit of healthy competition, discussion and notoriety for your best native bonsai.
Simply post your photo in this thread and we will create a poll on Australia Day for members to vote for their favourite.

Cheers john
I was beginning to think it was going to be a one tree display.
This is a new tree I haven’t seen if yours. I know you have a few natives. I like it.
It’s good to celebrate what we have to offer here in Australia. I feel we have only just uncovered the tip of the iceberg with our native trees. In our defence we must only be 50 years or so in at this stage. There is a bit of an age gap with some of the other countries.

Re: Australia Day, Australian Native display
People are probably waiting until Friday to post.
This Baeckia needs lots of work and I didn't intend to post this one, but just to keep the post ticking along...... And it is in flower.
As previously stated I do intend to post a proper one soon.
