Re: Ausbonsai spring show 2020
I showed this at the Canberra Bonsai Society show last weekend but I'm not sure where the blame lies - it could be the CBS for having the show a week too early, or the tree for blooming a bit late, (its certainly not my fault) but this hawthorn looks a lot better now than it did at the show. I can't put this on a display stand as that would make it too tall for my backdrop.

Re: Ausbonsai spring show 2020
Hope you don't mind Watto, your tree was coming in sideways so I gave it a spin to right side up.
Lovely tree!
Lovely tree!

Watto your tree is looking totally different. Amazing what a couple of days can do.

Re: Ausbonsai spring show 2020
Some really nice trees now on the benches but still plenty of room for more.
I'm happy to see some novice trees as well. They give people a chance to see where our bonsai start out so don't be embarrassed that yours are not as bug or as bushy as some of the ones we've had so far.
While I'm here I'd like to add another shohin. I believe this is a Cotoneaster dammerii. Lovely small leaves and responds well to pruning. Like most cotoneasters it flowers well an then has berries for much of the summer. The tree is probably around 5 or 6 years old and is shown in a pot by Val G. Around 12 cm from top to tail
and another native. This one is a melaleuca, probably linarifolia. From a small self sown seedling growing around the low water level of a neighbour's dam. It has grown and developed remarkably quickly. Stands around 40cm tall at the moment.

I really like that cotoneaster Neil, the way it moves around the pot is great.

Re: Ausbonsai spring show 2020
I'm enjoying the trees being shown, keep em coming!
This is a Japanese Box that I grew as a hedge for over 20 years. Dug it up around 3 years ago, and this was potted in this Tracey Francis container around 2 months ago. (It's still too high in the pot...and hasn't had much styling yet...)
Front of the pot has a rough finish
Back of the pot is glazed only.
Accent is a small Marie Hewartson container with grassy stuff...

Re: Ausbonsai spring show 2020
Mel, that's just what mulgas do - survive! It actually grows quite well in the pot, but the base certainly tells a story of (completely fictional) hardship. Should be grown much more. The leaves have a streak of silver down the centre, and the bark, if you pick the right seed strain, is gnarly from quite early. Tough as.
Kirky, the two maple clumps came about from layering two REALLY UGLY lumpy bits that happened on a maple that had lots of shoots from the one level, that I didn't clean out. It has decided to become far nicer than I deserve.
Keep the entries rolling!

Re: Ausbonsai spring show 2020
Neil, Ryan, Gavin, Watto and Mel, - (I hope I haven’t missed anyone so far!) your trees are wonderful, the displays and photography are top drawer and some of the pots are just beautiful. I hadn’t been back through this thread until this morning and it’s a joy to see... my only disappointment is not seeing R3’s distinguished cat - surely live props are allowed! Neil - cheers for starting the thread and please can others drop into the intermediate or even beginners table .... I feel I shouldn’t be in this show and need some company.

Re: Ausbonsai spring show 2020
Cheers Mel and oops - with so many trees in this increasing large show - I walked past one hidden away in a different corner of the intermediate bench ... albeit they my trees seem to be on the same bench at this show... how strange?melbrackstone wrote: ↑October 17th, 2020, 6:32 am Your trees have come a long way in a short time Mark, kudos!!
