and I love that waterswept calli
I have to agree Jason. That's the one I voted for but i might just be a little bit biased ;) :whistle:

Interesting to note the last juniper - the front branch on the larger, right branch was looking a little sad. Closer inspection revealed there is a live vein of bark down the front of the tree but not connected to either the roots or the branch :cry: Not sure whether this was a slip of the carving tools or just a basic lack of understanding of plant physiology?

Some great trees as usual and specially great to see a focus on Aussie natives this year. Maybe Melbourne might be able to host a National Australian Plants as Bonsai show in future to give Canberra members a well earned break, give more growers the chance to participate and make it more of a 'National' show :?:

Lots of great trees, thanks for sharing. :beer: Like others, I particularly liked the nicholi, especially because I just got some to work on. Small ones, so long term projects, but nice to know they have a bright future. :tu:

The waterswept calli is still one of my favorites too. :clap:
Cheers, Karl

This tree keeps me coming back for another look! It was not given any favours where it was positioned it had the cafe as a background. It turns out that I had lots of coffee over the weekend.
Q: Why are we all here?
A: Because we are not all there.
