I have finally been able to do some re potting and while I do that I take pictures so I know when it was done for future reference.
This is one of my Melaleuca rhaphiophylla, collected around 2004/5 it has been grown as a natural tree some wiring and pruning for shape. the accent is a native Borya spp
It is in a Lorraine Simpson of Mornington peninsular Bonsai club.
Dimensions height 43 cm width 40 cm trunk 11 cm

Really Nice Pup,
I had to go back, to notice the pot, stand and accent and how it ties in just right...
Nice little ressurection accent, and moss even after a killer summer!
Cheers ....Dog.

I enjoy your Mels Pup, and you have infected me badly with them.

A very fine tree, and particularly well potted - it's a fine match. I like the way the canopy is a bit open. And the texture of the trunk is massive. Happy to look after it if you get busy…
Thanks for posting,
Gavin
