Good luck with the show Keels , shame i am not around to visit. Hopefully we might be lucky to see a few photos. Cheers John.

Keels is either too busy after the weekend, or plum tuckered out so I will show a few photos of the ones I liked.
Its a terrible venue to appreciate the quality of the bonsai on display and to take photos so please excuse the photos.

A couple more.

Thanks for the photos Watto. Another great native bonsai show from Canberra Bonsai Society.

Some trees I recognise from previous shows and some new ones to keep us interested.

One of the locals came to have a look too!

Thanks for posting the pictures Watto. Just a little knackered after the weekend. It was a fantastic weekend and some really fantastic bonsai on display too.

Thanks for taking the time and effort to post Watto, much appreciated. Some truly stunning natives on display.
Congratulations to the organisers and the owners of these lovely natives. Absolutely love the Iron Bark and the Banksia’s. I will need to add a few more Banksia’s to my collection in the near future.
Cheers

Much appreciated Watto. Great collection of trees, always enjoy the array of styles, even pot selection makes you think. Very envious of the Mountain tea tree. Thanks John.

Some nice looking trees there.

I would think someone should give a heads up to the owner of Allocasuarina 29. The tree has a fantastic skeleton, but the moss build-up on that trunk will somewhat soon turn the base of the deep fissured bark into mush.

I love the banksias

My personal favourite has to be 21. which looks like an old thread here of a PeterH Allocasuarina

I spoke to the owner during the show and he is all over it. its actually lichen and alot of it was placed on the tree for the show.
