AusBonsai

This one was dug from the nature strip , trimmed continually by the ride on mower . Something different from what i usually do , "wiring" now who suggested that ,its rough but effective .This is one of the Purple varieties that i have growing here , originally growing wild on the roadside at Yackadanda/Tangambalanga in N.E Victoria . When i collected a couple of plants 10 years ago they had a stench about them which was very unpleasant .. i have only notice the rather faint pleasant aroma this morning obviously with care or possibly cross pollinated with some of the others i have here may have contributed to the change in the scent

very nice mate! i knew this one would turn out well!

Hi Alpine,

I was not calling you a beginner at all! I was just making a joke out of the lawn mower. I admire you skills greatly. As for losing the cutters...... Im young and i lose them frequently as well Wish i could call them like i do when i lose my mobile

Its cool mate no offence taken, gotta laugh or life would be a bitch.Cheers

I will be interested to see how the lavender growth habits translate into bonsai. ( I have a couple of huge french lavenders..... hmmmm) please keep us posted.

lavander can make great bonsai, the trunks can be similar to old conifers with deadwood, and the foliage can be rather tight

Just doing a seach on Lavender and came upon this thread. Joel, the answer to your problem is simple. Just strap a mobile to each tool. You will have a seperate number for each one, and if you set them to vibrate, it may just bring the tool across the table to you!

Cheers

Or a gps beacon!

New tools would be cheaper though....

Joel
