Lots of trees, coffee, Hugh Grant demo with plenty more ... and it's all free!!?!?
This event sounds great - unfortunately I've used up my "bonsai road trip" for this year.
Good luck to all involved for a fantastic weekend.

Aww...that's a cute little mulberry tree!

[Matthew]

that liquid amber looks quite impressive . Not a common species and one that takes a lot to make it a convincing bonsai

Thanks for your work Ken, always appreciated. It's good to see what you mob are up to.

these were the standouts for me:
0016 - very stylish. Was it a Mel. styphelioides? The uneven root line really gives the trunk something dynamic to rise from.

0007 - the funky Bougy semi-cascade.

9993 - the B/B/S felt very coastal, a very strong image.

9977 - a very refined semi-cascade pine.

I think the mel is a claret top. Not sure of its botanical name, but Steven should be able to confirm. I am not sure who owns it and have not seen it before.

That little boogie is mine so thanks, I reckon its cute too
