The Weeping Willow is on it's way to the National Collection in Canberra. I'm pretty happy about that although I'm missing it already :(

Great photos Dave, especially of the demonstrators.

Gerard,

Very impressive mate love the composition. Refinement is such a joy to watch over time.

Although, I must admit I am absolutely pining to see this in a slightly larger, more shallow pot :fc:.

Cheers mate,
Mo

Second that Dave, great shots to give those that couldn't make it an appropriate amount of envy!

Cheers mate. :tu:

just arrived back in Melbourne late last night, with a relatively empty car. :tu:
for those local people who were at the convention on the weekend and saw what i had for sale in the trading area, and are still interested in them, i have later sold the lot to Bonsai Mujo nursery. the trees were left at the owner's private residence, but i am sure if you make an enquiry, he will be more than happy to bring them to the nursery for viewing.


regards

I like the 2 main trees reworked. But I kind of prefer the 3 minor ones ''as before'' The the extreme left one in particular seems forced down to far to me?
