That first one is a winner. Love to get my hands on that :)
The deadwood privit? looks great basking in the sun.
It's too bad your in such a hurry cause the stories I could tell you, Bushels and baskets of stories, hole crates full of stories. But if you can spare a moment I will tell you one story.

Hi everyone
the first maple was from seed in 1989 and credit for it early growth goes to Lambert Wellington.
The carved front Privet & the 30cm Olive were collected and styled by me in 1998 and at a guess were 10-15 years when collected, all others were either seedling or young nursery stock

A lovely display of little bonsai Dave!
I'd love to see the Maples in colour so please follow up with some Autumn shots too.
The carved trunk Privet is by far my favorite. Do you have any progression shots of it?
How do you keep your mini's health during the hotter months? Have you seen Pup's Mame, Shito and Shohin post? He has a nice collection also and a great bench too!
Regards,
Steven
