Those metal stands are a great idea too.

Some i have puchased over the years. Some i have grown myself. Shohin in general are quicker to produce having said that many are 10-15 years old

Yes, this is a lovely set up. Pure envy this end. Oh, for the space.
Love the combination of rocks and stands. Of course, some wonderful trees too. In photo 570 you’ve got the whole medusa thing happening up that back near the fence - May I ask, what tree that is?


Bonsai teaches me patience.

Its a really nice tree . always pot grown slowly which is showing in its bark . It need a complete wire one day that will be a task as the tree is around 90cm tall.

When I look at the latest pictures the first thing I thought was, "what a beautiful garden, he clearly doesn't have dogs" haha. Well done mate you should be proud.

Cheers,
Pearcy.
