Wheres the pot Pat here is the dragon.
Here I am again pruning ready for re potting, this is the plant that has had all the name changes. But the trees just get better.
One of them is my Dragon Flying though the clouds(as apposed to rising though them)I think Pat Kennedy's pot would look good with this tree in it.
The other is a bit smaller but none the less it is a nice tree.

Thanks for posting Pup.
I know most gravitate towards the first but the 2nd smaller tree does it for me in terms of proportion and story.
Awesome quality on both fronts as always.

One of the fabulous things about growing bonsai is as you get old and decrepit your trees get old and beautiful

Re: Wheres the pot Pat here is the dragon.
A match made in the depths of Mordor, Pup......your dragon getting it together with my dragon.
Unfortunately (or maybe, joyously), my dragon has found his soul-mate and has flown the coup....but I know of more that are about to hatch.
How big is your dragon, Pup? We don't want a mismatch!
Cheers,
Pat

I like gardening - it's a place where I find myself when I need to lose myself.

Re: Wheres the pot Pat here is the dragon.
I was feeling happy about my Baeckea until I saw these. Great motivation Pup they're fantastic trees you have there.
PS. Love the pot on the second one.

Re: Wheres the pot Pat here is the dragon.
Great trunk on the first one Pup - is this dug from the wild? What season did you dig it? And how long to refine the branches?
Thanks for posting,
Gavin

Our natives fortunately like the summer for foot disturbance.
