Wirral Bonsai Society Members Annual Show Results and Complete Show 2013

Hi Everyon

On the week-end of the 21st and 22nd September we held our Annual Members Bonsai and Accent Plants Show at Gordales the Award Winning Retailer of the year 2012 Garden Center here in the Wirral Merseyside England and by ALL accounts and the feedback we have had  so far it seemed to have been even better than the Fabulous,Fantastic ,that I mention then

Around 10:30 am Mr Steve Tolley head Judge for the Event and a MASTER Of the  Bonsai Four Dimensional Art Supremo, arrived  with a Bandaged Finger ( I am sure he must get fed-up being asked what happened)which did not stop him form being his usual self when carrying out his judging duties and in TRUE TOLLSTER Fashion a man of Action he was extremely full of enthusiasm and used his Dedicated Skills and Superb Bonsai Knowledge to choose which Bonsai Tree deserved an award

This time it was even better than last year as Mr. Tolley was more than pleased with all our efforts and said we all should BE PROUD as a Society for being one of the Best Bonsai Societies in the country and will always be willing to return to support Wirral Bonsai Society if we will have him

Thanks Jim. I spoke with Ian and Andy whom I have met before. I will definitely be coming along to one of your meetings soon, so hopefully see you then.

Thank you for posting the blog link. I love the heron/boat accent, the other accents were lovely ... and the Lonicera shohin further on down the page is sweet!

Thanks for the answers, and thanks for the link to your blog. The larger picture of the potentilla. It is a great little tree. I have some growing in the yard, I'm going to search for an urban yamadori next spring.
