The Wash Up

The show went well, many visitors from other clubs, from the general public as well as club members friends and family.

A great display of different species and styles, with some lovely colour to celebrate Autumn.

Looks like a well presented show.....

Any pics of the pine that is third from the left in the top picture? It looks to have a really interesting form.

I take my hat off to this club! Fantastic show, with plenty of movement in the trees and variety among them. Beautiful precision and grooming, while it yet doesn't have that static presence of a row of perfect bonsai, all in the pine style, that one sometimes sees in other shows. So refreshing.

Thanks Sean,
Congratulations to those who put in the effort, I am impressed by the attention to detail.
My favorite is the black pine, it looks really natural. The interesting accent stone reminds me of a cricket ball.
Q: Why are we all here?
A: Because we are not all there.
