Hey guys,

These 2 are my favourites so far and get the most attention when shown to anyone. They are posted elsewhere so some may have seen them but for those that haven't.

This is a firm favorite of mine even tho it is one of my least favorite species. A collected Ficus that I have had almost 2yrs, Just repotted into this beautifully simple mudlark pot, tip to tail is about 22cm. I toyed with the idea of removing the rock when I repotted but it just didnt work.

Once it recovers from repotting I intend to continue spreading the 2 trunk lines by flexing to create a split. The upper trunk needs to go to the left & back slightly & the cascade needs to come down one more split at its base, then have another split at the first branch to bring the whole tail down and closer to the pot.

This one is sentimental to me - it's the first one I did when I got back into bonsai. Still needs some work and it's growing in the most atrocious soil but I love it.

awesome trees guys!!! i love seeing what everyone is working on. isnt it funny the way some trees, although others might not consider anything great, just seem to resonate with you. some of my fav in my collection are nothing more than "starters" but i enjoy them too much to replace them hehe
