How about a Mallsai competition. Buy a Bunnings bonsai and then see who can improve it the most in a predefined period of time.

I think you should run a competition based on the inspiration idea, as what inspired you to take up bonsai, or inspired in you a love of trees in general, could lead to some great stories and photos.

I have more than a few dogs remains (forget brekky), so I vote for this option... I might have a chance

This is a really good idea but.... I have no hope
Unless your name is Kimura or something similar chances are none of us will win this one

I was reading
http://bonsainurseryman.typepad.com/ , Brent Walston's blog; he has [back in June] a piece on"Rules You Won't Find In Books" - could be good place to start, for another thread??
