Really enjoyable show, stunning trees. Really liked the Coastal Tea Trees and various Melaleuca on display.

Well done to all. :clap:

Fantastic trees. What a great showcase for the talent of Aussie bonsai artists and the potential of the native trees. Too bad I couldn't see them in person, but the inspiration keeps me going on my Aussie trees all the way across the world. :aussie: :tu:

There was definitely some great trees there. The presentation of the whole show was excellent too.

I appreciate the opportunity to pick up some great looking Australian potter pots. :aussie:

It was a great success, but next time will be better after what was learned.
Some loved the dark backgrounds while others did not. (It does make it easier to get a good photo)
I think organisers were surprised by the number and size of good quality trees that arrived. Ideally there would be more benches or less trees but how can you complain when you get too much of a good thing.

Many more photos tonight.

Thanks for the great photos Gerard. It was an excellent show and I enjoyed every minute of it. I, for one, preferred the dark backgrounds, which I think were much better than white corflute (often stripy) or bare walls.
Bonsai was meant to keep me away from the computer.

Even though I have photos of every tree at the show, I think I will let you wait for the experts pics
Hurry up Gerrad :whistle:
This was such a magnificent display, I had no idea that there would be so many beautiful natives. :tu:

Having 6 of us with our pots for sale sent a few people mad :lol: (too much choice and not enough money)

My congratulations to everyone as it seemed that every member of the native club was working at the show.
Sometimes there were more of us than the public :lol:

expectations for next year !!!!

the bracteata group was my favourite, but lots of different opinions.
