You won't regret it, Ken got me hooked as well (s'all your fault ken ;) ). Have a couple on the go now, and one awaiting spring to dig :)

I did a Demo at the School Show this weekend to pot this up into a Bonsai Pot to show everyone how we pot up a larger collected tree.

It has recovered well and covered in flowers so now time to further its development.
Went into a large grey oval that matches the bark colour nicely.
I would have liked a little bit deeper pot, but Ray does not have that many in this size.

The tree will get afternoon sun and seasol 3 times a week until it shows good recovery in a few weeks.
I removed most of the leaves and all of the flowers and Brachts after taking these photos

Hopefully the right hand branching will develop this year well enough to be on show next year :-)
