Hi Jamie,

Money certainly cannot buy happiness, but apparently it can buy a lot of great bonsais :x

Cheers.

Hi nealweb,

I do not know what to suggest. This site seems to use Flash (or something else? Silverlight?) very heavily. It is quite possible that your web-browser does not have this software installed.

If you have access to another computer, can you try this on it?

Cheers.

It does take some time too load initially, but it is well worth it! Not only are they fantastic trees, but the quality of the garden and greenhouse inspire me :worship: So jealous though, I don't think I will ever have the time and or money to have a private collection like that. Its a pity it isnt open to the public or even select groups of people so it can be fully appreciated.
