I thought I would post a pic of my Hino De Giri in full bloom. Enjoy....

very solid mate! excellent display

Awesome! Bright!!

Stunning. Looking forward to seeing it in a bonsai pot. The tree has a lovely shape and that magnificent colour. Hope some day my azaleas start to fill out like your Hino.

oops my mistake, its a Christmas Cheer.

If you like Azalea and don't have one in your collection then you should get one

I'm afraid that underneath that stunning cloak of blooms is some work that needs doing.
When the blooms die off a little I will be heading in there for some serious trimming. Then it is into a grow box for a few years. At present I have a picture in mind of how I want it to turn out. Something like a fat trunked trident, semi formal upright. I will post something after clean up

Hello,

In Azalea Bonsai in Japan they are designing a lot of Natural style trees as it suites the material so well. I think we are now well past the Moyogi etc. styles as "the only way to go". Satsuki growers do go their own way and have had very little to do with the main Japanese Bonsai tradition - you only have to look at Meika style to see that and it was the early way of growing Satsuki bonsai.

Have fun.
