Today it is nice and sunny and warm ( cant pick it ) any way after some carving and burning. Forgot the camera bugger. Then when it was over remembered the bloody thing.
I then decided to change pots on some of my Mame natives.
Also I had the three golden gems that were not talking, so I though of what Peter H did with his gum trees. The pot I had was an oblong shallow and narrow but I thought I would give it a try and see what it looked like.
I like the result so does the Boss as she has said it cannot go to the Auction at the end of the month, did not intend too any way. Here is a progression from what they were to now.

Auction, did I hear correctly? Damn! 
As to the composition, my hat off for the master.

Always we hope someone else has the answer.

Re: New group of Melaleuca's
Hey Pup I like where you ae going. They are nice little trees. I found the two trees conflicting a little where they cross and thought I would try a slightly different arrangment.
I tilted the middle tree to the right and moved it away from the other tree. I think it would also need to go back just a little. I think it is less conflicting but maybe a little more boring

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.

Re: New group of Melaleuca's
Pup,
Love your trees. Sorry Bretts, but don't like your virt. It makes the middle tree too short and there is no balance between them. Sometimes crossing branches are a trick of photography that don't really cross in the bark. Could this be the case, Pup? Tell Mrs Pup she has good taste

It is going to stay as is, till it does a bit more growing then we will see what, to do if any thing, your virt puts them in a straight line.
Cheers

I didn't uncross it just changed how it crosses so it is still penjing
Guess I will have to wait till they go to Auction

Re: New group of Melaleuca's
Here is the group from 4 sides so now you can dissect it. As you wish, remember I am a big boy and it is my group, so what you say does not matter.
