Problems indeed

I'll be uploading mine to photobucket tonight, and will share the link that way That way you get the pictures, plus I can upload them in a better quality then I would be able to here. Will have them up tonight though

For some reason, my laptop just doesn't play well with this site, and I think the same thing happened with my pics last year too

Just been and reduced them, so here are a couple more, and one that shows some of our members took notes from Robert Stevens show in Indonesia.

Pup, that Claret Tipped Mel you had on display was my favourite... The Shohin Wooly Bush was also a highlight. And they said you couldn't do it... You showed them.

Finally, here a my favs

WA Bonsai Exhibition

Enjoy, if anyone wants to know names of the trees, then let me know

[Mount Nasura]

wow! some outstanding trees here. I really missed out this year. Excellent photography too, obviously a lot of effort put in. Go W.A!

[Boics]

A lot of natives there!
Well done people's!

[JaseH]

So many quality trees.. and so many well executed natives. Well done

[Ryceman3]

Looks like there was plenty to take in - very nice! Not sure if it just the photos but the natives are hands down the highlight IMO - think I'm feeling a little inspired....!

[Ash]

Wonderful natives! Thankyou so much for posting. Ash

[Jason]

There were some great examples of native bonsai at the show, and they got quite a lot of interest from the public too As always, the pictures really don't do them justice

I think the huge Azalea stole the show in the end, nobody could beleive it was real and not grafted (or glued ). It was suprisingly light too, compared with the other monsters on display

Excellent display gentlemen and ladies, thanks for your work all round. The big Mels are a knockout, and a couple of the rock-and-tree presentations were beautifully composed.

Is it giving you an error? I dont't have any privacy settings set, so it should just open to a page full of photos

Here is the full link, which might work: http://s28.photobucket.com/user/Denaz/l ... ion%202014

Some beautiful trees all round (and as usual, I spent most of my time trying to learn from the displays there

As well as Pup's usual superlative selection, I was taken by a literati Azalea. And humbled by the thriving Acers - mine struggle.

But at the end I have to agree that

the huge Azalea stole the show in the end

Every year the BSoWA manage to find a seriously impressive tree. At the other extreme I just loved the companion plants.

A big thank you to all involved with the show. The trees are gorgeous, the photography excellent.
I love the natives especially the wooly bush!
Too think that a few decades ago common knowledge said that you couldn't bonsai a native Look how far Australians have come in such a short time. I can only imagine the quality of the trees the next generation shall be developing, not only improving the current trees as they are passed on but also new species which haven't been used much if at all as yet.
