Thanks for sharing!
I hope someone can identify the trees. What's the second tree with the flakey bark? Is the third a saikei planting of jaboticaba? Is the last Celtis?

Re: Exhibition in South Africa
The second, they called it paper-bark, but I don't remember the botanical name. 3rd. is forest or whatever you want to call (damn it, forgot to note down all the species, sorry)..and last one suppose to be celtis chinensis.

Hi Robert
So this is the reason you were lugging that camera around! Great photo's.
I really enjoyed both your demo's, including the magic branches that grew (lettuce) leaves within a couple of hours
I rocketed back home to Joburg the next day and applied your transformation theory to one of my boring old stumps... So thanks for the inspiration.
Regards
Brent

Good to see and very interesting to see the different ways of bonsai styles around the world. There are some very talented trees. Looks like you did a good job there Robert and William. Congratulations.
Best regards

Re: Exhibition in South Africa
Thanks Morten. We got tons of inspiration during our bonsai safari in Namibia, you need to see to believe their natura, the trees, the stones...
My next creation will be dedicated to our African friends. I brought few nice acacia and small leaves ficus home, also different seeds of acacia. This is the first time I get nervous can't wait another years to create something, and the first time I break my own rule for having obsession to create my bonsai before having the materials...

Hey Russel, the saikei is either Celtis sinensis or Celtis africana which is our loacle version commonly known as White Stinkwood or in Afrikkan Wit Stinkhout. Shout if you want names of any others.
Cheers,
Andrew
