Dragon bonsai at The Swindon winter show.

Seven members of Dragon bonsai attended the Winter show at Swindon on Sunday.
This show over the last 7 years has got better and larger. It is one of the British bonsai seasons highlights.

Here is the dragon bonsai display.
John's Juniper and Chris's winter clothed Yew




Bob's San hose juniper.


Bob 's Larch.


John's White pine.

Nice show. Seems like some very spiffy trees on display. I like Bob's larch. Perhaps with a smaller pot and with some slope to the sides and with a larger slab it would be more dramatic. The scroll mimics the shape in a pleasing manner.



I see a problem common in US shows. The displays are a bit crowded.

Chris Thomas and I presented 3 trees at the Winter show.
Chris's Blackthorn and dragon.


Chris's Larch.

No problem, it was just a suggestion on the larch.

The quality of the last few trees was superb. I really like Simon Temblett's style. I had the privilege of meeting him last summer and saw more of his trees. - he has real talent. Likes lime sulfur too!

Ian Stewartson has great trees as does Steve Tolley. Nice show guys.
