Hawthorn

Post by shibui »

It must be Hawthorn day today - 3 posts with this species flowering well this year.
This tree was collected from a pebbly area near Wood Point around 35 years ago. I've finally convinced it to start producing more than a handful of flowers. Still not the masses of flowers that I see on the ferals along the roadsides here but still far better than it has ever done.
Pictured on the bench at Albury Show today.

Sadly did not win a prize. :(

Looks marvellous on he bench too might I add.

In case you are wondering what did win, Alpineart won with his English Oak.

Sadly, my Chinese Elm didn't win either :)

Looking good shibui.
A stick in a pot is better than no stick at all. Remember even the best bonsai started as a stick.
