Hi Steve, was really good today.
Steven got up and had a little talk about AusBonsai, so hope we can generate a bit of traffic. Will post my photos soon and I have some other stuff i must get done first

Ken

What a throughly enjoyable day today! Great demonstrators, a high quality of bonsai to view and terrific company. Thanks to everyone who came up and said hello. Your kind words about AusBonsai were very encouraging

Well, Peter finished working on Ray Nesci's Juniper that he started yesterday; Ray told me that he has been growing this Juniper for nearly 30 years and never got around to refining it. I wish I had stock like this that I hadn't got around to yet
After Peter finished styling it (the 3rd time) this is how it looked; A nice transformation don't you agree!
Ken (kcpoole) took lots of pictures and will be posting them here soon also.

Regards,
Steven

Here's a couple of shots of the base of this mighty Juniper;

very nice juniper! refreshing to see that great detail and thought has gone in to further developing this tree! will be special in future! thanks for sharing.

Nice pics steven

I will have to wait till tomorrow night to post mine as I have a real early start in the morning

Sundays Photos Start with a Demo of Peter ( with help from Clinton) of a 7 tree Japanese Maple forest
This was a Deceased estate setting that I believe is for Sale. See Clinton for more info

After the Maples, Peter wanted another go at Rays Juniper shown above by steven

my oh my that would be looking tops in spring

i wish i could have taken the trip up...

can't wait to see who's got something for today (monday)

I must have started a trend with bringing Big Azaleas for Peter to mull over
This one is Gary "with on R" from the School Of Bonsai, that needed some advice.

After Play lunch
A session was given to Australian Natives.
Lee Wright, Dennis McDermott and Ray all did a talk about their natives they work with

Enlightening

Peter then did a demo on a collected Olive owned by Ray.
The tree was collected Many years ago, when the school did a dig out at Mount Annan. It was farmland then, and it was going to be buldozed and made into a Garden. the site is now The Mt Annan Campus of the Royal Botanic Gardens in Sydney. This is where a lot of the research work has been done on the Wollemi Pine.

The tree was pre wired By Clinton and he finished just before the sun came up
He was a tired Bloke

Next up was a workshop on some small Japanese Black pines.
they were exposed root type trees and were very nice. Again Suppplied by Ray ( Where does he have all these trees hiding?)

Someone asked what sort of price they would bring in good Ole US, and Peter suggested up to $1800. I think Ray is now planning to emigrate there

Last Tree was a discussion of BrettS ( from this site), Mugho pine he had brought along

Nice it was too and Peter was Quite impressed
