Nice tree you have there, I would like to see how it is when it gets older. Quite interesting to look at

Hi Jim,
Nice little tree. I do have a fondness for Cotoneaster's & Mame/Shohin trees, as Andy may well tell you
I must try and post some of the (many) little critters that I've been working on.
Is it true what John Pitt told me that there are more types of trees than Cotoneasters that make good Bonsai

That's just a little piece of driftwood.
Yeah. I like crape myrtle and privet, too.

Not bad: using artifice to enhance the overall look of a plant should count I think.
The movement of the dead wood and the movement of the trunk are in harmony, I was tricked at first, before reading the comments. Looked like a snake to me, a shapein harmnony betwwen the dead wood and the live 'trunk'. I like a lot.
Very artistic to my taste, a very good composition, I like this approach very much.

Re: Tiny Cotoneaster raft accent/mame
Many thanks, Alain. I had that little 2-inch piece of driftwood (found on a Florida beach) on a bookshelf for 8-10 years. It has wonderful grain and swirls in it. It's much prettier when dry.
