Hi all just though id share a bit of whats been happening at my collection the past month. Been full on doing alot of winter work, primarily of which has involved a fair amount of Privet work, wiring and repotting. Where i am located my privet will go semi and in same cases almost fully deciduous, i will usually finish them off by removing the remaining leaves around the end of July.
Anyway here is a snippet of whats been happening!
Working on a few colllected Melaleuca's
Privet work
Refinement
and
styling from Raw collected material
