Re: Benjamina group
Beautiful planting Pup! The slab matches the setting perfectly.
Another excellent example of Australian Bonsai.

Re: Benjamina group
Hi Pup,
"Harmonious" is the word that springs to mind when I view this group planting.
The slate, is it Australian Pup?
In the last picture, what is the yellow stuff that is on top of the soil?
Thank Pup.
Best regards,
V.

Re: Benjamina group
Daiviet it is a piece of what we call cap stone. When bush fires go though an area where there are a lot of Granite Boulders the heat will crack part of the Boulder some times they crack of in slabs. The yellow is actually light brown and it is Akadama Japanese baked Clay. It is the potting medium used by the Professionals in Japan. I am glad you like the group and I hope this has helped you in some small way. Your freind in Bonsai Pupdaiviet_nguyen wrote:Hi Pup,

Re: Benjamina group
Hi Pup,
Thank you for explaining Granite Boulders. I searched the net, and I think I will be able to recognise one when I see it.
In some parts of QLD, for example Mount Samson, there is a strange type of rock. They are not as "hard" or as "heavy" as
normal rock, if we tap them with a small hammer for example, piece of will fall off. I collected a few, used in root-over-rock.
In 2007, I saw Mr. Ted Williams of http://www.williamsnurseries.com.au/ used them to
make borders in his over-all display of Australian natives. This was the Glen Waverley Bonsai Club annual show.
By borders I mean several column of rocks were laying on the floor to make a square area, native bonsai trees were displayed inside this
square.
Best regards,
V.
