In the Picture

In response to Pat Bonsaistud's request in another thread but as quoted above, here indeed I am relaxing under a couple of my favourite trees.

Relaxing on a (rare) hot day under a buxus which I have had for about 3 years now but which always be a Dan Barton tree.




And chilling out under a lovely Shohin maple after a race

Hey Fiona, love the curves............... on that..........buxus, its stunning. Did it come on that slab or was that your addition?
Gman

No, it came on the slab.

Normally when I buy or otherwise acquire a tree I tend to make changes - either to give it my own "personality" in the design or because Nature needs something changed. But this one I plan to keep as much as possible how it was when I got it from Dan. This tree always struck me as special and if all I am is its custodian, then I am proud to be so.

The slab's good isn't it.

WOW those are BIG trees

Such grace and curve......Why am I thinking formal upright?

B**gger! That's the second cup of coffee elephanted across the table tonight!

With you spraying beverages and me typing with my tongue, we ought to get together and buy our keyboards wholesale

Actually I'm thinking the box would look much better in a conventional pot, perhaps in a tan or brown for contrast with the trunk. And get rid of that chinese-style figurine ;-).

G'day Friends...

I'm pleased to see the responses to my suggestion...great trees, great slab...and how about those "...chinese-style figurine(s)..."? Are they called "mud ladies"? I wouldn't change a thing...

Cool thread Fiona...

Hey Fiona,
Like some others I do like the tree/slab combo......however the tree might look even better in the right pot? Maybe others could throw you a few "verts" for comparison purposes.
The other thought I had was that.............. you've had it for 3 years....so isn't it time for a "repot"?
Cheers Gman

fertilser keeps springing to mind.

Never seen "Elephant" used as a verb.

I think the Hobbit in a bathingsuit should move to another Backrow planting weve seen on this forum

Just joking Fiona

Kind regards
Peter

'backrow planting'? Filth.

Sorry if I offend some with my post, I ment the hobbit should move to this https://ibonsaiclub.forumotion.com/bonsai-f1/the-scouring-of-the-shire-bagshot-row-remade-t1548.htm

Peter

Ooooh Peter - are you getting nervous there? And there's you a champion of Vampire Wars too I believe! Not offended - just busy last night and didn't get a chance to respond.

Anyway, for the record: I am not a Hobbit, I am in fact a Ghillie Dhu

I shouldn't worry mate. no - one appears to have picked up on my 'fertilize her' gag, so offence radar appears to be switched off.

Ah! You meant fertilise me.

And there I was just thinking it you were talking sh**e again!

Hah well done.

So if I understand correctly, Fiona is a dude.
Because wikipedia says a Ghillie Dhu is a dark haired lad , the one time I met you at ginkgo Fiona you did not look like a lad to me.
You dont remember meeting me Fiona?
Tony and myself and you took a tour at Danny's because you wanted to by a tree and I purposed a Satsuki, cheap and good but you did not want it.

Kind regards
Peter

scottish you see. short, belligerent and parsimonious.

Yep. Bang to rights!

But no, I am not a dude. Ghillie Dhus can be either gender despite what Wikipedia says.

Of course I remember you, Peter, as one amidst a bevy of beautiful bucks. Oh no wait - that was my dream about the Chippendales.

Tony, do you still have the IBC "team photo" from that last Ginkgo so I can do a quick comparison?
