Another display night comes along and boy this year did we have nice colour on show

Not as many people ( Squizz where were you?), and our usual Judge gallivanting overseas around the Galapagos Islands, so Vince more than ably stepped in.
thanks Vince, a nice change and different viewpoints on tree development and display are very interesting

Anyway to the trees

Enjoy
Ken

While the displays are being judged and admired, normal workshop work goes on, so a few pics from around the room of some trees that members are developing or maintaining.

Enjoy.

Does anyone know what type of tree the one in what looks like a blue PK pot with the small deer next to it is called? It looks like a citrus tree of some sort.

Yes citrus. I cannot remember but maybe Steven can?

G'day Beau, it's a Fortunella hindsii AKA Dwarf Cumquat AKA Kinzu.

Thanks for posting champion, very interesting.
I think the more we practice "showing" the better we will get at it, and that all goes well for the future of bonsai.

Those Azaleas!!!

Ahh I didn't even know we could grow Kinzu out here! I definitely need one of these now! Thanks Steven

That Mel is so beautiful. I really love it.

That dwarf cumquat is very cute.

I'd love to see an update on what someone does with that Leptospermum. Looks like great material to work with.

that one is mine so yep will be updated periodically.

sigh I even commented on that tree previously. I'm getting old.

Yes I love the start of that lepto, can't wait to see it in 2 years / 5 years / 10 years.

Beautiful colour on your Liquidambar Ken, maybe it's time to update the wiki photos...
I think it's a great example.
