Exmouth show
Another great Exmouth show. Everyone friendly and welcoming (as usual)
I'm sure I speak for all the Dragons that were involved (especially Lewis who walked around with a big grin on his face all day)
Chris was spot on judging best club display in show.
Marcus, thanks for posting the dates for the next two years, I think they will be firmly fixed in the Dragons programme of events.

Beautiful displays.
I really don't know much about the art of accent plants, but I usually love seeing them just as much as the trees. These are stunning. Are the mushrooms in the 5th shot of the second post (Celtic Knot) real? They look just too perfect. I also love the one with what looks like the use of a piece of deadwood. Looking forward to seeing more from the show.

Hi Mike, Yes your right the mushroom's are resin, its only this way they would last the show.

Marcus treated us to being able to see the winning tree from the best of British last week at the NEC, it was this fantastic broom style Zelkova

Re: Exmouth show (Two topics merged)
you wont believe the next picture Chris - six and a half hours with the tweezers on monday and leaves are off one by one !!
this will let those important inner branches get some light so they strengthen and then a new little very fine branch will sprout from each leaf base that was plucked off. i did a little zelkova 2 weeks ago and it was leafing out again in days - these really do grow quickly when they are happy! i smile to myself when people think nice trees arrive ready done and stay perfect with no work - if only reality was so simple . Every year this will have to be defoliated at least once and the task will take longer each time as the twigs multiply- expecting so much from a tree will need a really balanced feed regime too or it will not respond to the demands of life in the fast lane
cheers all, see you soon i hope

Re: Exmouth show (Two topics merged)
Again, beautiful trees and accents.
I just wanted to comment on the figurines in the pot. I love it! Works well for a tree that's planted off centre. Only thing I think that would help make it better would be a layer of moss.
Thanks for sharing, Mike

The theme of the Dragon display
This display was themed as a tribute to Japanese haiku poets ( a form of short verse )
Working from left to right.
Kobayashi Issa (1762-1826) The peoples favourite and a lover of nature.
Those distant mountains
reflected in the jewelled eyes
of the dragonfly.
Shofu-ni ( 1669-1758 ) Widow of a Samurai who became a poet nun.
Both the Haiku sleeve
and the plantain
withered in the field.
Matsuo Basho ( 1644-1694 ) The greatest haiku master and disciple of Zen meditation
Plum blossom scent
as the sun comes up
on a path through the mountains.
Yosa Buson (1717-1783 ) Haiku poet and painter and family man.
A deer in the cold
his horns pressed to his body
like withered twigs.
I would be interested in peoples thoughts or questions. Does it work as a display ?
