Pultenaea vrolandii

Pultenaea vrolandii

This was purchased from Glendale Native nursery in Newcastle as a 4 inch tub.
No idea how this is going to go as a bonsai, but so far its proven very hardy with 2 separate massive root reductions.
Its fun to experiment nonetheless and I've not seen this attempted as Bonsai before.

Its been placed into an amazing new glaze from Esther Griffiths at Walsall Studios in UK.
The colour will compliment the flowers.

I style Bonsai naturally, just as they would appear in the wild.

This was allowed to grow wild, which it certainly did. Then I gave it a major cutback a few months ago. Its very hardy and well worth trialling so far.

I just find I like the colours better with this pot from Tracey.
