This fantastic Yew of Duncans came from my stock many years ago. Duncan styled it at Burrs two years ago... great to see it winning prizes.

Another 2 Chuhin CoM winners.
I'm sorry but I don't have the owners names




Peter Warren's lovely Rose


My humble display

Congrats to everyone involved in making the BSA show so great, it was my first visit and the trees and displays were gorgeous. Can't see a pic of that box though, I'll have to load one! BTW, Fiona, you were in those pics for the same reason I was, because you were being held there by TT! Oh, and those pies were seriously good, I'd defy anyone to resist them.

nice, awesome !

A bit late in posting this but work has been hectic, 2 young children to play with, dog to walk, trees to repot, blah, blah, doesn't leave much time for the internet!

I enjoyed my first visit to Willowbog and my first bonsai show. It was great to see the trees close up and I was really impressed with the quality of trees on display.

Great to meet some of the folks from IBC - hope to see you all again soon. Tony's 'IBC walkround critique' of some of the trees was far better than Marco's (I dropped out of Marco's in favour of a pie just as we passed the eating area !) It was great to hear Tony's opinions of the trees and little details, both good and bad that I wouldn't have noticed had he not pointed them out.

Well done Fiona (styling champ): Scotland 1 : Rest of the World 0.

Nice to meet you there Fiona and thanks for introducing me to Ian and Janice. I still cant believe they both live just a few miles along the road from me. I've now joined the Edinburgh group and went to the first meeting 2 weeks ago and am going to the 'blether' this Sunday.

The lighting was fine for walking round looking at the trees, but not so good for photos, but here's a few that haven't been posted already. I didn't get the names of any of the owners of these trees - Sorry!

Great photo's Paul, thanks. And to everyone else who attended and posted, thanks too. I missed a really good one.
