A fantastic display by the Bendigo club. Beautiful trees complimented by a well laid out floor plan. It seems to get better every year :tu: I very much enjoyed bumping into a lot of Bonsai friends and discussing all things Bonsai. Good on you folks. :worship:

Great show guys, Took home alot more than I expected. Filled my inspiration bank with all the stunning trees (shame none of my fave species), grabbed some cheap supplies and the thing i got the most from was the demo on accent planting. Will definitely be searching everyone's gardens for some variety and getting my hands dirty in some muck. :tu2:

You went to a Bonsai show without a camera? :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o

Next you'll be going without clothes! (Just as big a faux pas) :shock: :shock: :shock:

:shake: :shake: :shake:
If only there were an iPhone app to help you to remember to take your camera. :tounge: I guess we'll just have to wait for the album to come out, like we do with all the other bonsai expos in Australia then? :o While we're on the subject, I may have whinged about this before but, it wouldn't be that difficult to organise decent plain backdrops at bonsai shows, to enable decent phots to be taken, would it. I'll find some pics from bonsai shows I have been to that will better illustrate my point.

Cheers,
Mojo
