We could not travel to Canberra bonsai club show this year due to interstate travel restrictions so I'm missing my fix of seeing and talking bonsai.
I've decided to post a few trees to cheer all us locked up bonsai growers.
Please excuse the lack of preparation on these trees. Just try not to see the liverwort and lack of moss or gravel. There did not seem to be much point going to all the trouble of preparing them for show when it was unlikley we would be able to participate.
I showed this azalea at Canberra last year and it is just right on the correct weekend again this year, possibly even a few more flowers this time.
For the last few years I have also been putting in a shohin display at Canberra. Here's one possible grouping.
Now because there are no space limits here are a few more trees for you.
There are a few more flowers to come out but still quite nice this weekend.
Japanese maples also look really good with fresh new leaves for spring shows.
Tridents also look good before the summer heat plays havoc with the leaves.

Re: Shibui 2020 spring not show
Very nice Neil, we should all show our show trees, even without going out to the show. I think we Melbournites might be stuck at 5 km for a few more weeks. Keep them coming folks.
Cheers

Re: Shibui 2020 spring not show
I was also thinking along similar lines Kirky. I'll probably post a few more threads that will cover the shows I normally attend and I'll add a few more to this one but lets start sometin for everyone. A new thread for a virtual Ausbonsai spring bonsai show. Open to everyone but it will be great for Melbourne growers to have a designated place to show off trees and enjoy those from other people.Very nice Neil, we should all show our show trees, even without going out to the show.

If no-one else has made a start I will put up something this evening.

Re: Shibui 2020 spring not show
Thanks for the photos, Neil. It was a great show and a great weekend, but we missed you. Very good attendance - I think people were pleased to have somewhere to go.
Formally posting as Grevillea
