Hi everyone,

Its been a while since I put up some pictures on here so I thought I'd share some. I've posted the two Juni's here before but in their early stages. I recently acquired some PK pots and thought the trees would look great in them. Tell us what you think.
Apollogies for the quality of the pictures, thats the next thing to buy. A good camera.

Regards,

Mario

I like the second one
the first needs some more foliage, but weill be nice in another growing season.
Dunno about the semi cascade tho

Ken

Awesome Mario - bring them around this Saturday and we will take some studio shots of them.
Cheers,
Leigh.

Leigh,

Its a date, perhaps make it for sunday if thats possible for you as am still not 100%. I'll bring the Cascade juniper as well so Pat can get a good idea of the pot to make for it. Is it alright if I bring a few others.

cheers

Apollogies for the quality of the pictures, thats the next thing to buy. A good camera.

In the meantime, you can improve things with the help of Picasa. See below.
Congratulations on those lovely shohins in 'Pat Pots'! I look forward to seeing more after your photo session with Leigh.
Saw the semi-cascade 'live' last year and wasn't crazy about it. Still am not.

Incidentally, I had trouble finding this thread again after it was posted for the first time. So when are we getting a shohin section on this Forum???? Please????

Very nice combination Of trees and pots and, after careful study, I dont mind the cascade. It needs foliage refinement but i enjoyed the simplicity of it.

Love the juniper especially; and the pot.

Grant

The second juniper is fantastic. Would love to see it in person one day!
James

James - maybe if you time your next visit to my place - you can see it when we get a photo.

Sounds good, let me know when it is and I will try and get there. Also Leigh, do you know when Pat Kennedy will be back in Canberra? I loved what I saw at the last show, but wasn't really sure what to buy, so ended up with nothing

Hi Lisa,

Thanks for improving the images of those trees. viewtopic.php?f=131&t=4067 This is link to the original post of the shimpaku when it was first styled. And yes you would have seen both the junipers before. The shimpaku was displayed at our annual show last year and the semi was shown at the previous year '09 mini show.

Ken, Grant, James and Bodhirharma,

Thank you for your comments. I guess the cascade picture does not really do the tree justice. It does however still need a good growing season or two to really show its full potential.

Leigh,

Let me know if Sunday is good for you forr the photo session. Am making adjustments toe the trees and applying moss to make it look better on the day.

Regards,

Mario

Mario , i'll be honest, re; the shimpaku , i didn't pay too much attention to this tree because it looked like just another juni, size was very hard to judge as you didn't reference size.. However since you posted the progression link i have a greater appreciation for what you have achieved here- viewtopic.php?f=131&t=4067 - I'm not sure i like the pot but i do like the tree , great work Mario please keep us posted ,

Hi Craig,

Thank you for your comment. I should have included the trees dimensions, but I just forrgot .
Just got back from Leigh's place and he has taken some good shots of the tree. Just the shimpaku tree. Will put them up as soon as Leigh sends me the photo's. He might just put 'em directly onto here.

Cheers,

Mario

Hi all,

Just got the updated photos from Leigh. I rewired the tree overnight and applied moss this morning for the photo shoot .
Just like to thank Leigh for taking the time from his very busy schedule to take photos of the tree.
Well hope you all like it.

Stunning - you were lucky to leave with it !
