These were picked up for $15 at a nursery in Melbourne , having traveled several times for medical reasons i decide to take some time out while the wife was being taken care of . I actually went to look for some natives for the 2011 Native Comp alas these jumped out and pleaded "rescue" considering i looked at a couple of these with my wife a few weeks ago they were in hanging baskets , so i grabbed them at the bargain price of 4 for $12 originally $24.95 so it was a bargain to be had . Plenty of good movement to work with so its out with the snippers and into them .

I decided to use 1 as a root over rock due to the root mass Slap some wire on for a quick style into informal uprights .Bambino Bougainvillea Bonsai trainers .Cheers Alpineart

Good on ya Alpine You have a natural eye for picking up good trainers. Not the first time i have seen you pick up a bargain and turn it into something.

Hi Bodhi , nice to pick up a bargain and do something with it , especially if the species has been considered as part of the bigger picture .Cheers Alpine
