My prize has arrived

Post by Steven »

After being recently voted AusBonsai's Australian of the year I decided to purchase myself a couple of new pots. I rang PatK, placed the order and then eagerly waited by the post box for them to arrive. I was so excited when they came that I thought I would share the moment with you all.

Now I'm sure you are all very jealous. Would you like to see some close-ups of my new Mirkwood acquisitions?

Mirkwood pots do something special to a nice bonsai... add a bit of magic and make a good tree much better. Looking forward to seeing it with the tree you will pot in it.

Yes, there is no doubt that Pat is a true craftsperson. Great pot Steven - are you going to put a tree in it or just look at it?
