Lots of really nice trees there in a clean setting Matthew. A couple of them look precariously balanced on that black metal stand?
Bonsai was meant to keep me away from the computer.

Re: Autumn 2013
I have always been so Jealous of you lot down south and the colour you can get this time of year. As I get so little colour in my trees here, i have been looking around to see what options I have. Last year I got some cuttings of Virginia creeper, and today one of them is looking quite a nice reddish / orange

Re: Autumn 2013
Autumn colour development has been quite slow this year but a few more have put on a bit of a display.
So far no real colour in the Japanese maples but we had our first frost last night so should be more soon.You do not have the required permissions to view the files attached to this post.

Re: Autumn 2013
After some good advice from Shibui my Maples grew well this season and for the first time they are showing some colour:
Thanks again Shibui!
