AusBonsai

Again I lied Steven asked if I could show some of my miniatures with a size comparison. Those of you that have seen them elsewhere don't look.
I will try to name them in the file so here they come.PG[/attachment]

Here are the shohin and a couple of Shito

AWESOME PUP!!! They are inspirational!!!

What is the secret... How do you keep them alive?
Do you carry them with you everywhere you go so you can give them a drink every 5 minutes?

Regards,
Steven

I have a pupose built shade pagoda it is 1200mms squaretwo galve trays 50mms deep filled with water. on top of which sits plastic trays filled with crushed gravel. Which the pot sit on top of. The shito size ones do get buried in the gravel when it warms up. I will post a pic Steven.

Wonderful Pup, for me this is what bonsai is all about!!

Please,do you think you could take individual shots of some of your favourites so we can get more detail and also, could you post the size limits of mame, shito and shohin, also chuhin.

Thanks a million for posting these, they're magic

Hi Spinner,

You can find the sizes you are after in this Glossary of Japanese Bonsai Terms

Thanks and regards,
Steven

Thanks Steven, now if I can only see the details of Pup's trees I'll be sweet!!!

Spinner

wow pup, these are reeeeeeely good

this is what i aspire to in mame.

Top post Pup, Anyone who thinks that this form of Bonsai is easier has not attempted it. You have some excellent trees here.

Thank you so much for shareing and giving us inspiration. Please do show us a picture of how you maintain on a daily basis when not showing.

Here is the set up I use. As you are already aware where I live does cause something of a problem in summer.
I have overcome this in this way. Contrary to what is said most days in summer I get away with 2 watering's.
Some times when it gets to 46 in the water bag is different up to 4 times.

[Spinner wanted some pics of detail here are a couple. I will put text with them.

AWESOME

cheers pup.

i have a setup something similar, but not as good or as well liad out.
just shallow polystyrene lids filled flat with pebbles.
i dont get the 45 degree days though...

They are exquisite.
You are a LEGEND Pup!

What is very important is to keep them humid so they do not dry out. Here are a few more. Got sucked in on the exotic's EH!!

Thanks for posting the single trees Pup, they're all wonderful but I especially like the group of elms.
