Hi Pup, what is the tree in the 2nd picture?

Cheers,
Mojo

Hi mate, from top to bottom sorry for not naming them.
The first one is, a Melaleuca rhaphiophylla, the second the one you asked about , is a M, lanceolata subp, I think it is planifolia, not 100 percent it could also be occidentalis, considering where the parent was collected from.
The next one is M, ringens, was on the endangered list till they had success propagating it. Next is Babingtonia virgata, next is M, preissiana.
Then M, rhaphiophylla and last but not least is, Adenanthos cygnorum this one is a member of the same family as the Banksia, Protaeaceae.

Do we need more?

Cheers Pup

Just thought I'd help this thread by posting a few pics. I'll start off with a couple of PRIVET:-
The Semi Cascade grown from seedling (about 1999)and the Informal Upright collected as a pencil thin base with no existing branches kept.
The cascade is in an antique Chinese ceramic pot
cheers

Here are a couple more little ones:- A Japanese Black Pine from seedling 1980(always grown in a bonsai pot) and a very small Chinese Elm from root cutting approx 2005
cheers
Dave

Thanks Dave, they are beauties. Having now seen a couple of your creations in person, I can confirm that you are quite the shohinista

Cheers,
Mojo

Heres a couple of my little natives in training. The lemon scented gum will be pushing the upper limits of height depending on who you use as guide. Matt

And I had to share this superb display of shohin by Kenji Oshima. No surprise it won the best shohin display at Taikan Ten Bonsai Exhibition this year. More photos can be found on IBC at http://ibonsaiclub.forumotion.com/gener ... -t4824.htm And more again will be published in International Bonsai.

It is great to see all these Shohin photos. Thanks to Matt, Dave, Pup, Mojo, Noah, and Lisa (from another topic)(hope I haven't left anyone out). I would love to help the cause but I consider that all of my Shohin are still in early training stages.

A couple of my favourites:-
A very tiny Fig. Always grown in a small bonsai pot useing "Sacrifice" shoots to thicken the base.Potted in an antique Chinese pot
My very first collected Olive in 1999, stands just under 30cm. In a P.K. pot of course
cheers
Dave

Hi Noah
thanks for the compliment.
Yes I still have the Maple which has just been defoliated.
Don't know if I should keep posting photos here or wait for the Shohin section to get up and running.
Gotta luv those wee trees
cheers
