Flooded in.......

Post by boom64 »

Hi All , unfortunately i was flooded in today.... therefore a good opportunity to clean up a few natives i recently potted up. Originally i was going to put back into plastic pots but decided to give them a decent home .A little over potted but good to move on if needed . Photos taken in between downpours so a little rough. Cheers John..

Those are great - I love the bark and the naturalistic styling. Thanks for sharing!

Hi John.... aren't we all drenched. But actually flooded in is bad, thats not good at all. I hope it doesn't last that long for you.

I really love the last tree, beautiful. But I dislike the pot its in.

Great trees John.

Hi All ,thanks for the feedback. A bit of sun today hopefully over the worst of it.
Watto the pot is from Bad Swan over in W.A. he doing some very nice work ,very earthy and well suited for our natives. I wish i could get my hands on a few more. Have to be quick with him.
Rory i know what you mean ,this one is in the maybe section but at least in a pot. Have to keep a few smaller ones for the future.
Hope everyone is doing well in these crazy times . John.
