AusBonsai

Did this up as a whim from Nursery stock that I got months ago but were sitting minding their own business in the bottomless pit I call the 'side of the house'.
Put together a couple of weeks ago to show that 'on the cheap' (under $10.00) a bonsai can be started from healthy nursery stock, a cheap reclaimed pot, and a stick picked up whilst walking around.
Pot..$1.50 throw outs at Garden World.
Trees..$2.50 100mm pots...(3) Lemon Scented Cyprus/Juni or whatever.
Stump..Japanese Box Thorn.. found sitting on top of a rubble pile at Hanson Quarries Brooklyn (cleaned up and bleached)

In all 30 mins think time..5 min collection time for sundries..30 mins assemble.

Define the foliage into distinct pads, thin down and refine the cut ends of the Deadwood and should look real nice
I like the bright green foliage colour

Pretty good for $9 dollars Firecat.

Thanks Ken..appreciate your suggestions.
The stump will get a going over and the trees a bit if wire and styling.
Thanks
