Bonsai Christmas Tree competition
Okay, who has the best looking bonsai Christmas tree?
The best looking bonsai posted complete with tinsel and decorations will win a packet of Kyoto moss spores (the sweetest looking moss around!).
Any tree can be used however it must be in a bonsai pot and be decorated. Please take photographs in front of a neutral coloured background.
Competition closes on Wednesday 17th December 2008 at 12 noon.
Regards,
Steven

Re: Bonsai Christmas Tree competition Winner
Hi everyone,
Sorry for the delay. As well as this site, I also have a young family and a business to run which between them have taken up all my time over the last week.
The winner of the Christmas bonsai competition is...
Anttal63, Pup/Mrs Pup and Soltan!
Each of you will receive a packet of Kyoto moss spores for taking the time and making the effort to enter. Thank you very much for getting into the Christmas spirit and getting behind this forum!!!
(Please PM me with your address and I'll pop it in tomorrow's post.)
I'd also like to take this opportunity to thank each and every one of the 'contributing' members here at AusBonsai. Our forum is really starting to gather momentum and without your posts and shared knowledge, this would not be possible.
Best regards,
Steven
