Hiro Sun 27th workshops Ballarat
Today Hiro was presented with some nice stock and asked to work his magic, for me the highlight was Rory's juniper which took some very severe persuasion.

Re: Hiro Sun 27th workshops Ballarat
Hi Gerard, Hiro was here today and I was showing him your posts he was amazed at how quickly you had it all up and running. He is such a nice guy, he was telling me he has been to Australia 13 times now. I reckon this guy has had more influence on bonsai in Vic. than anyone else.

Re: Hiro Sun 27th workshops Ballarat
Hi Craig,
When I heard that Hiro likes to visit Mr Craig I suspected it must be you!
I am a member at 3 clubs and everyone who is prominent at club meetings has been influenced by this wonderful man.
You can expect to see my pics of every session titled Hiro Sat...Hiro Sun ....Hiro Tues, etc

Re: Hiro Sun 27th workshops Ballarat
Hi Gerard, I don't know if Hiro likes to visit me or if Geof and Marg like to visit and Hiro gets dragged along, they always bring him up here, he likes having a pie floater at "pie in the sky" for lunch. I am really looking forward to your postings. I will be doing a class with him on friday night to get some advice on a couple of trees, hopefully I will see you there ?

Re: Hiro Sun 27th workshops Ballarat
Hi Mojo, I am acutely aware that Hiro is out here as a paid professional and this is a social call so I tend to keep the conversation away from bonsai out of respect. I suspect he is happy to have a day off bonsai.
