Hey MelB and Watto - I am on a crowded train - travelling home from work and your journey with these excellent Bonsai is making my journey a lot more enjoyable. Excellent trees. Thanks for posting. [THUMBS UP SIGN]

Re: Australia Day bonsai display 2019
For those who don't know that banksia of Peter's it is a monster. That's a full sized table it is sitting on at a Canberra Bonsai show. Great tree
Here's a Callistemon modelled after the ones I see in the rivers and creeks in this area Sorry, no scale again. The tree is around 40cm tall and a bit wider.

OMG Peter.
Game over! Double Ender!
I've seen the Banksia before (and it's sublime) but that wattle is simply stunning as well!
Keep em coming peeps!

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

Re: Australia Day bonsai display 2019
I’m almost embarrassed to post again after that one PeterH. Holy Shari. Would love to see it in the flesh one day.
Surely this will entice some of our big hitters?
Anyway my next one is as follows. Squizzy

What about PeterH stepping out of the shed and banging that wattle on the table. ‘Take a bit of that ...’

That Banksia from Peter and that Cal from Neil are two of me all time favourite trees I’ve found on this site so far... native or otherwise.
