AusBonsai

About time I showed you a few of my plants. The lilac bougainvillea I've had for roughly 20 years and the other about 15. I now realize I let them grow too open and they look worse at the moment with no foliage. I seem to go for that shape with everything, so it's time to be more adventurous. The small fig I've just defoliated and it would be 20 years or more. The bigger one I've only had for about 10 years and it needs repotting badly. I've also included 2 Thai Temple Bells which don't have much foliage at the moment and they'd be about 10 years also. Now that you people have inspired me they will be getting a lot of TLC. I also want to get a hibiscus...does anyone have one that they could show me??? Oops, some of them wont go thru, must be too much background cheers Loretta

Sorry folks, 2 out of 6 is pretty poor...I'll move the others to the blank wall and send the another time.

hi loretta, good to see you putting some trees up

with a bit of thought and some inspiration your trees will pick up and look great!

i have a few hibiscus in my yard, how big are you after??? they arent bonsai but they have been ground grown for a fairly long time

Nice shots!

With you TLC I am sure they with be great bonsai once refined.
Keep up updated. I'm still defoliating figs atm.

hi loretta

thought i would do a little vert of your boug, it has a decent main structure, a little bit of work and it will be nice
defoliated, tight ramification
covered in flower/bracts

i reckon the ramification wont take to long to develop up there mate two season and i think it would be getting close
