Thanks Jim, that means a lot coming from you as I know that you and your pals organise great shows too. Make date in your diary for next year's BBS ?

This is a great show, and I enjoyed watching it very much. The quality is great and the aesthetic well set up displays and overall exhibition is amazing I think. The level have gone up quickly the later years seen from here. I envy you a bit being part of this.
(Great photos too I have to point out an extra time).

Best regards
Morten

Thanks Morten, and I'm glad that you and so many others have enjoyed the opportunity to enjoy it "vitrtually" . It makes all the hard work that went into the show worthwhile.

Thanks for the kind comments again about my amateur photos, particularly as I know how good a photographer you are

And finally, some of Ritta's "accent" plants on The "Magical Bonsai Accents 2012" promotion stand ....

Hi, having made an enquiry with John, it's owner, he tells me it was a cutomised (for him) version of a catalogue item made by Bowbrook studios here in the UK. http://www.bowbrookstudios.co.uk/kingfishers.html

Hi Mark,

There are even more photo's on www.swindon-bonsai.co.uk

Mark

It was a great show, lovely trees, fantastic accents and figures together with a nice chat with old and new friends. Your photos as usual really portray the quality of everything on display.

Well done to all and hope to see everyone at the next.

where do you get the name plaques for the trees done?

cheers Marcus

Hi Marcus,

The ID Name labels were an idea of mine several years ago and are the simplest things in the world to create. All you need are some blank ID Name pouches and then on your computer you can create whatever info you wish to use. Then, trim to size and slip into the pouches. Bingo!..... job done.

Good luck Dan

My hat of to the members of the BBS, I have seen some very nice trees and displays.

Keep up the good work guys!

Thanks Hans !!
