Diverse Gallery Variety for viewing

[Rory]

As I feel Australian Natives are solely becoming the majority of my bonsai, I felt it would be great to start up a gallery to show people all the diverse range that Australia has for bonsai in the one gallery, so as to find different species at the click of your mouse. When I first joined this site, I thought the option for a gallery was a brilliant idea, and thus I wanted a gallery where I can find a vast range of different types to see, and easily labelled with a progression series, thus, I decided to start this.

You can view the gallery within our forum on the link below:
gallery/album.php?album_id=324

Of course, being a lover of bonsai, I can't help but include exotics as well, but primarily the gallery will be for natives.

I plan to update them with updated pictures as they all develop, probably about 2 - 4 times a year, preferably with each season.
We don't get an enormous amount of sun on our property so it will also be interesting over time, whether or not this has an impact more on the exotics or natives, or which will thrive.
Some of these bonsai I have had for many years, and others have been purchased sooner.
I have almost updated all the species but still have some pics to update and to alphabetize the list, and we have left out about 80 or so more due to time. But if people like this gallery , we will update others in time as well from our collection.

Feel free to comment on any of the pictures and suggestions or comments for improvements are always welcome.

Obviously you can tell that I am quite enthusiastic about Casuarina, so I apologize if they are not to your liking, but I'm sure over time you will find many others that you will enjoy in following their timeline progression.

We will include a story for each one as I get more time later on, including all prices paid, and where they were purchased etc etc.
Let us know if you like the idea, and want to see us develop them in time with this gallery please.

Wow.

Lot of work getting those photo's together.
Good on you for making the effort.

Keep em healthy and let them grow!

I actually wish the forum catered a little better for viewing gallery's such as this.
It takes a while to cycle through the pics I reckon.

Well... sadly, lack of sunlight has taken its first 3 victims in this experiment. We still have 1 more JBP that we are trialling which had more sun than the other, so hopefully we can get some more photos of it up soon.
Not much to report, other than all the others seem to be doing well, and we have updated a few pics with strong growth, but nothing much more to add, ... might wait another month or so.
We plan to add some more seedlings, and will try more swampy candidates due to the restricted sunlight.

Well, we have added a stack more aussie natives to the list, and added some updated progression pics and the start of some group plantings.
A few more candidates have been added to the RIP list, in part I would think from the lack of sun, but we will keep striving.

Nice effort and going to be a good resource as time progresses.
