last styling session for 2010 (maybe)

like jun, I'm wrapping things up for 2010 - although on second thought, tomorrow is the 31st, so I actually have another day. spent the second to the last day doing more work on two junipers that arrived on Dec. 24th - a parsons and a green mound.

Happy new year Sam!

very nice trees. but do you need to style the bougainvillea? looks very good already. or just some clearing works perhaps?

regards,
jun

Kauaibonsai, I wonder have you got the appropriate ladder for the styling of those palm trees, too?
Blessed and Happy New Year!

hahaha! I bet Sam can't finish styling those palm's for this year...he still has the bougainvillea for the 31st.

those huge trees lacks taper too...literati is the only way, but other than long ladder Sam got to find huge wires too.

Fantastic pass!!!

thanks, nellie and jun. happy new year to you, also.

the bougainvillea needs to be cutback and shortened. I'm working on thicker branches with more movement and much more ramification. development is moving in the right direction. defined pads is a future goal.

weather today is absolutely beautiful. sunny, warm, great day for the beach. last nite's wonderous sky was a precourser. after days of rain, my trees are growing like crazy, they are happy.

best to all,

sam

Sam!

For some reason I did not realize that was you !! Goodness, we need to revieve the weekend challenge...I think.
Happy New Year to you and your family!

And Happy New Year to everyone on the IBC forum!!

Hi Sam,

What a dynamic man you are. Happy New Year.

Old friend,
Budi

no more time left in 2010 - but we wuz pushing almost to the last minute. did the hedges, cut the lawn, thinned the orange bougainvillea and even pruned two premna microphylla.

created some negative space, oiled the pot.



clip and grow work on two premna. the design for each is set. foliage is reducing nicely. sorry for the busy background


hiya dorothy. yes its me !! if you started the challenge on IBC, the response would be great. glad to see you're active. too much talent to hide for long. your virtual skills are simply amazing. best wishes to you. its like reconnecting with an old friend again.

to budi:

if dynamic means the same as "crazy" then I am "dynamic" (I'm kidding ). thanks. for a guy my age to be called dynamic makes me blush - but I'll take the compliment.

best of luck in 2011. maybe we will meet in Takamatsu. sheila and I will take you to dinner.
