What next after Literati??

[Andrew Legg]

Hi All,

As a non-Aus Ausbonsai regular, I'd love to see another competition us non-Aussies can enter. I started out here a bit late for the literati competition, but look forward to the next one. Bring it on I fully understand why you have the local material competitons, and they are both a great idea, and great to follow! Look forward to something I can enter as a South African (and hopefully not choke ).

Cheers,

Andrew

Andrew, Syzgium and Achmena, are both members of the Myrtaceae family, commonly called Lilly pilly or Bush Cherry. Quite a lot of them are Native to Australia. So if you have one, that is why not enter, our native competition.

Hey Andrew. See if you can pickup an aussie native there:-), or even just pick one of you own native and enter that as Stir? Acacia maybey? they are related to ours anyway. I am sure the Aussie Judges here will appreciate the Sentiment and be nice to you for it ?

Hmmmm - food for thought . . . maybe I'll look into a B Cherry - never really thought of doing one! Bring it on!

Have you considered a group or forest planting which would not curtail outsiders from entering? My forum is considering a twin or triple trunk style for our next challenge. We've stopped calling them competitions. =Don.

How about best bonsai sculptured from broccoli? Maybe use a kitchen knife, don't ruin ya best Dremel bits. Applicable to anyone, the art aspect is still the same challenge.
And if your entry doesn't win, it is dinner.

There is a possibility I do not always take this hobby as seriously as some do..
