I can't wait for this, the chance to buy something else or maybe a couple and the chance to learn more. Hurry up weekend.

This is shaping up to be one of the most colourful displays around! With the Ikebana display, we'll be in for a flower-fest all weekend long!

I'll be there for the full weekend, all day long, so make sure you come and say :gday: :D

I've been fine tuning my camera skills ready for the show, so will have plenty of photos to share :reading: :tu:

Don't forget the bucket mate, and maybe a bath towel. My drooling can get quite messy...

Wow, what a great weekend, some amazing trees on show! I'm just processing the photos and will have them up soon as I can :) I got photos of everything (over 300 shots), so no one will miss out :P I got to play photographer for the weekend, and got the pleasure of being lent some expensive equipment to test out for a short time too! Couldn't have been a better weekend :tu:

Great to put some names to faces too :cool:

Great trees!! ...and some pretty great people too! Glad I got to be a part of it....and even more so bc I reckon I brought home a pretty sweet little tree from the sales room!

I look forward to your pics Jason, but I can tell you that pics can't capture the beauty of some of the trees there!

Huge thanks to all the people from the WA bonsai Society for putting on a great show!!! :clap: :clap: Amazing trees and it was a pleasure to meet Jason, Eddie and Pup. The members were all so friendly and willing to talk to absolute strangers bought together by a common passion. If I lived closer to the metro area, I would be a member for sure.

Was great to meet you Raymond, and glad you enjoyed it mate :) we'll definately have to catch up some time mate, those olives sound mighty fine :P

I really enjoyed it, don't think I could dream of a better way to spend a weekend, surrounded by beautiful tree's, and everyone in the room as enthusiastic about them as me :clap:

Really enjoyed seeing what goes into setting up and packing down a show though, so much more then I ever would have realised.

Hope you enjoy that bonsai Eddie, think you got yourself a winner there :) I had a fair bit of fun trying to get my one home... but with a lot of newspaper, even more stickytape, a couple of pillows, and some very slow driving, we got it back in one piece :lol:
