South Australian Bonsai Society Exhibition 2016

Post by Matt S »

This year's South Australian Bonsai Society exhibition was a huge success. Saturday morning opening saw a crowd of people stretching down the street and anecdotally we think numbers are well up and sales have been strong. Here are some photos from the main exhibition.

There are always plenty of Olives at a South Australian gathering...

...and Chris Drinkwater always impresses with his Eriocephalus compositions...

Well done to everyone involved, it was a credit to the club.

Thanks Matt. The Eriocephalus' look amazing. Is there anything else you can tell us about them?

Hi Fluorine,

I'll transcribe an article I wrote about the Eriocephalus africanus last year for our newsletter. I'll post it in the Evergreen section.
