Now that sounds really interesting, I'd love to see pictures of these :-)

Me too!
It is interesting that Chinese bonsaist are not ashamed of scars on broadleaf trees.
Ashamed? I thought the Uro was an accepted feature of Japanese bonsai..

In many case scars are not welcome on Japanese broadleaf trees. To me looks cool.
Thanks Rob for new photos!

As for making the aerial rafts, it's rather simple. At some point in the trees development simply excavate the area under the raft.

Not much time to post as we are in Nanking and quite busy but a couple more.

Some variety of conifer. Note the figurine.

Cool pot. Not sure of the species. Looks like it says mountain something in Chinese. Could be a Sageretia theezan, there were quite a few of them at the show.

Once again not certain of the species. Perhaps an Orange Jasmine (Murraya paniculata )

Rob,

thanks for the truly amazing photos.

I got questions regarding the first penjing with tall rock with the lazy figurine- how on earth did they planted those trees in that rock? seems to be hard type of rock. was it hollowed out in some portions? if its hollow in some portion the water must flow out somewhere of it due to water logged problem? i cant see any roots at the base of the rock from your photo scratch study

regards,
jun

Damien, I believe you asked about this one.

Note sure what species it was - either a Crape Myrle or a Eugenia of some sort.

Wow. Amazing. Thanks. A couple of those required me to pick my eyeballs up from the floor. The aesthtic possibilities suggested by these trees, despite some of their kitschy aspects, are something we in the west should really take note of.

That's OK. Clubs that want both will continue to subscribe. Clubs that are not interested in so much suiseki will drop out. Let the market decide.

Have you got some further pics of the "bridge style" in your archive?

Best wishes
