See you all there who can make it.

There were loads of beautiful trees. Here's the one that I couldn't resist!!!!! Judy and her Mum were fantastic, happy to share little tit bits about each tree, as well some care advice as well.

Great Fig Demos, great trees on sale = one fantastic Evening.

We had a trigger happy Paparazzi (David N with the new Camera) at the event and he should post images shortly!!!!!!

Wow what a great little tree.
Mr Lin Realy did know what he was doing.I would have love'ed to go down and see the tree's and meet the man behind them.
I bet he is happy that all his works of art are going to people that will look after them.

And grats on a great buy.
(i'll see some of his work when i go to the bonsai show in ACT later this year)

Sorry fiveoffive I did not mean to mislead you

The sale (Hong Lin) trees were almost all chinese elms, his style has a charachter of its own.

The topic for the Bonsai Northwest meeting was figs.
Some of the club members brought along figs for the display table and the demonstations on the evening were all figs

Here are a few of the Late Mr Hong's trees that were for sale. Even I walked home with two of his trees.

The Specimen, great group you have there in the figs.

Pretty sure that is tom Cochranes, he called in after the sale at my place and it was in his car. Very cute.
