Flowers in miniature
This is a Calytrix glutinosa (sticky fringe myrtle) a native of WA. When not in flower they look very similar to a juniper. Which when I first saw it I thought it was. It is easy to handle and transplant, soil is a good free draining Bonsai mix.
This tree is now 4 years old and is performing very well indeed it has flowered for the last 3 years, wiring is easy also, just be aware that old wood is brittle.
Hope you like it.

One of the fabulous things about growing bonsai is as you get old and decrepit your trees get old and beautiful

Re: Flowers in miniature
I have just read of Bohdi's loss of two miniatures. While that is despicable, I my self had a nasty experience. Last Monday the 25th of August I took this tree and some other to the club to show them off. When I got home, and while I was packing up I thought something is not right.
Tuesday morning I had a close look at the tree. Lo and behold some low life had taken a cutting from the tree.
I was devastated. It has been told off to the Committee. the reason I tell this it is not just JO BLO you have to worry about.
Cheers Pup as hell

Re: Flowers in miniature
What a cheek!!! Taking a cutting without your consent. This is absolutely no excuse, it was sabotage or theft. I hope the member is struck off. LOL.
I stopped going to a club, because one member kept brushing against me, then once mouthed 'shut up' while I was speaking. Then shoving me out of the way. That was enough for me! Especially after I complained to the committee but they stuck up for him. 'Didn't mean it, he has a good heart'
(Having years working for women's services, I know a potential abuser's profile only too well. So I thought, 'F U'. I never attended again. If he was trying it on, i.e., negative attention seeking, he should bloody grow up!)

Jealousy eh? Get it in all hobbies.

Re: Flowers in miniature
Sad to hear Pup Don't know why they couldn't just ask if they wanted a cutting!
Have a question? The AusBonsai Wiki most likely has the answer!
