Bonsai Society of Western Australia 2012 Spring Show

Over the weekend the Bonsai Society of Western Australia held its' Spring Show. Admission is a gold coin ($1) to charity (Telethon). I estimated over 2,000 went thru the gate. Here are some of the trees on show. Apologies for the poor quality of the photo. Lighting was not ideal and was shooting in a rush.
Cheers, CJ

I don't know why the picture turned out so small. I did the same as I have always done.

If I click on the small photo a larger photo comes up in serving.com

That's what I got too, Billy. However that's not what it used to be.

Thanks for sharing. I love the tea tree. Do you think it will grow in the tropics? I found some seeds sale in Amazon:

Hi Ray, my relative tried to grow them in Singapore. No luck. The weather in Singapore is hot year round (25 - 35). They can stand a few months of hot weather like those in Perth (up to 42). However they just love a cold spell. I observed that when the weather here goes thru a really cool spell, my tea trees look more radiant and vigorous. I saw two NZ tea trees in Singapore but grown under controlled condition in the brand new over S$1 billion Garden by the Bay.

Nice exhibition. Thanks for sharing.

Very nice to see good examples using Australian natives.
The Albany Woollybush is really different. Nice
The bark on the Callistemon is well developed.
Thanks for posting

Hello,

Thanks for showing.
I love the space of that Baeckea,

You probably just clicked in the wrong box in the copy screen. No big deal.

Very nice show!

Thanks for posting! Jim is probably right. There is a link to the thumbnails which you posted instead of the full sized image. No problem as it is easily seen anyway.

Thanks for the compliments.
Sunip, yes the tea tree, bottle brush and baeckea are mine.

CJ

Great catching up with you again CJ. Your trees are inspirational - just what I needed to keep the effort up to maintain my collection.

Hi George, it was my pleasure to catch up with u. Thanks for visiting everyone of our show. Keep on the wonderful journey. I understand we raised close to $3,000 for charity.

Cheers,

CJ

Nice Exhibition CJ well done! and most importantly, good intentions for the charity!

Thanks Jun. We hope to get more people into bonsai. This is one way to slowly work bonsai into the mainstream of society.

Regards.
