Collecting in China

I'm on an Australian Penjing page on facebook, the links there can be quite amazing! (Currently banned for 30 days atm though....hopefully my request for a review of the ban will be looked at favourably, otherwise, I'm just stuck with looking.)

Re: Collecting in China
Thanks Mel, some amazing pictures. On the picture above, I reckon AlpineArt (Ian) might be on site (probably taking the picture!) - I am pretty sure he’d roll with that size of root-stock!!

Re: Collecting in China
Thanks Mark, I enjoy the links from China on that facebook page!
I used to get banned regularly for posting the occasional art nude photo....turns out now I am able to ask for and receive a review, and they let this image through.

Re: Collecting in China
I’m asking for a review of your eligibility to post on this forum Mel*... the potential for the guy in the blue T-shirt to possibly expose his midriff is a bit too much in my opinion, pushing the envelope there...
*no actual review of eligibility was (and most likely will ever) be raised. Your contributions to this joint are too valuable. As long as his T-shirt stays where it is, the same goes for the guy in the pic too.

Re: Collecting in China
LOL Ryceman, it wasn't the above image that was the problem.... check my instagram if you want to see what caused the kerfuffle.
But thanks

Re: Collecting in China
Thanks for the link, mel! Breathtaking stuff.
Miniaturization is a relative concept in China. (And everywhere, but it's especially evident in the present context.)

There are often links at the bottom of each of the WeChat pages too, which can take you to all sorts of interesting places.

Re: Collecting in China
Interesting shapes & forms but what's up with the tree near the empty swimming pool? Half exposed out of pot - looks like it's just been through a natural disaster?
