AusBonsai

This is possibly the best spring for flowering bonsai I've had at Shibui Bonsai.
The smaller wisteria has more flowers than ever before. it has been on show for 3 days so some flowers are a little shrivelled - The larger wisteria is just opening the first flowers but should look good next week.

Azaleas have also flowered well. The earlier varieties suffered from petal blight a bit but this one is looking good this week - I'm on the lookout for a suitable pot for this one. I think it might be close to ready for show now.

The cotoneasters are also flowering but maybe not quite as spectacular as those above -

omg love that wisteria so jealous wish mine was half as good do u mind if i ask how old it is?

I agree with you that flowering trees have gone well.
Azaleas..mine included have been amazing and flowers have lasted a very long time.
particular interest for Azalea growers is that I have found back budding in particular is almost instant after flowers are cut.
I have fed well and only water with collected rain water.
They get 'NO' morning sun and 'NO' rain..(under eaves)
Re your Cotoneasters I love them.
These pair are budding out flowers for the first time in 3 years (or since I got them) and are defoliated twice a year.
thanks for reminding me shibui..Cotoneasters are a great tree to own.

mind if i ask how old it is?

No problem Mogginator. I don't keep very good records but I think that wisteria is around 15-20 years old, grown from seed. It started flowering relatively early at around 6 years old, unlike my larger one which was about 19 years when it finally decided to produce its first flower.

Gorgeous Wisteria, mine is just about done.
Cheers

Beautiful Shibui
