AusBonsai

Wonderful shots Steven thanks for filling in the blanks !!! Would still love to see that radiata finished someone anyone ???

Congratulations Bonsai Northwest, looks like a great time was had by all and no doubt some knowledge gained along the way .

Radiata wasnt finished.. Only cleaned out then two lowest branches were bent down. I was hoping to see a bit more of a transformation

Does anybody know who the sellers were with quite a big stand at the back right of the sales area, the chap was wearing a blue fleece jumper? hoping to contact them about some stock.

Carlitos, 'Right back' depends on which way you are facing??? Vendors selling trees were: Michael S. (1 table next to Gardener's Friend - tools, etc), Shibui Bonsai (3 tables, lots of maples), Baloc(?) bonsai (large japanese black pines), Bonsai Art (1 table, next to Gosing trading - pots) and the Lin(?) family selling off their deceased husband/fathers very nice penjing.

If its Shibui Bonsai you are after just PM me.

Very low light scene but I tried my best to capture some images,

That is an outstanding Broom style Elm, Kudos to the owner. thanks for posting Ben.

Hi All
Thank you again for all the positive feedback on our convention. We are very proud and humble of our efforts. Boon was amazing and when I initially invited him to be the headliner at the convention I knew he was good, but didn't know how truly great he was. What a wonderful teacher. I learnt so much and know I have a very long way to go to get to his level. So inspiring.

I have updated our clubs website with all the photos from the convention. I have categorised them into the different events. They are so many photos so please allow some loading time for the website.

Enjoy.

I cannot access them. They dont come up. I allowed 10 minutes

Are you using an iPad to view the site? The website won't work on Apple products as it is using Flash. Have to rebuild the website one day when I get time.

I am slowly going through the pics i took... a few exhibition shots are up on my blog.

Thanks Ben super images, right click, background...check.

I just can't get enough of that last Mel. Surely its got to be very close to Australia's best Bonsai display, it certainly is IMO. If we ever had to send overseas something this should be it. Each tree is brilliant in its own right, when you visualise them on their own.

Outstanding - all of it. Thankyou for posting for those of us who live so many kms away from all the action!
cheers

It was great to catch up with all the crew again and have a beer and a laugh. Its a pitty I didn't see Sunday's session, I had to rest my head after Leigh and I had a few Saturday night....
Thanks for posting the pic's of the demo's Steven that Juni looked great!

Looks like a great show from the pictures posted. Kudos to Bonsai Northwest.
Being that this is one of Australia's premier bonsai events with some of the best bonsai from all around, could the posted photos of exhibition trees be tagged with horticultural name and an artist to attribute to????????????????????
Also a couple of shots of category winners ( if its that sort of show ) would be greatly appreciated.

On another note, what a great banksia truly a first class bonsai. Feelings of joy fill me when I see a bonsai like this of a species that is endemic to our country.

TGIF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
