Looks like a decent show is brewing in those buds!
That “pot” is out there too… I like a bit of different, and I think the tree looks pretty good in it.
Nice work, as Watto said, look forward to some pics in a few weeks.

cheers Melb, Watto & R3. Will post up a pic when in bloom.

I've wanted to experiment with a different type of container since seeing the below image a few years back by Ferrand Bloch.
What do you (& others) think of this?
An Aussie native would really suit this type of container

Fantastic tree and pot. Nice.
Cheers,

That's a very harmonious composition, KCAR, love it! I think your tree could look fabulous in that sort of setting.

Something out of the box/left of centre that looks to be applied with a lot of thought.
It’s a fresh looking composition I think.
I don’t think it would work with every tree but I like the drama in both the tree and container playing off against each other, and I think the scale of both is good. I’m thinking there is a fine line getting this right, it would be easy for the pot to overwhelm the tree with lesser material, and for the most part I’m all about the tree.
Thanks for sharing, it’s good to see new approaches.

Finally getting some bloomin' results!!
Thanks again to all that have helped share their knowledge & advice.

Pops like a fireworks display!

That's a very impressive display of tree, container and flowers KCAR! Grats!

Fabulous result KCR ..........

Ditto to what Mel said, BUT I want to see it in the bark. When are you Newcastrians putting on an exhibition so I can make a trip (you remember a trip - where you get in the car and go somewhere, anywhere)?

Ahh.. the car trip. I remember those. Although i'm not a member, the Newcastle Bonsai Society club has cancelled it's exhibition which normally would be held in November.

No worries, 90% of 70% of the country should be at least 50% vaccinated by then

Beautiful KCR

Car??? What is this car trip you all speak of
240 odd days…. And counting! I can remember what a car trip is

There is also a tad of jealously as my bottlebrush have only started to form their buds.
