Early-summer work

I had to do some maintainance work on my bonsai like shortening new shoots.
Below is only one of menny. Half the tree is done.

In the up-comming days I plan some new proyects so stay tuned!

And now about today

Today we had a club workshop/picknick. There's not much new to say, good company, good organization.
And Bonsai.

We also had a smaller exhibition.

After the picknick we went to Roland's garden. There has been a big approovement since my last visit.

First, last weekend

Last weekend I got together with Joze again. This time we worked on one of he's bigger mugo pines. He had it for three years and it was well enough established to be worked on. At steady pace we worked on it for the better part of the day.There was no leck of music, food and discussion.

Starting material.

After work on jin and shari.

Final work.

Another photo with better light and a worse background. A good bonsai with a bright future. ;)

Prunus in new pot

This is a yamadori I dug two years ago. Last year it was styled for the first time but I sadly have no photo.

This year it got a new pot which is not final. Also the crown has to get much wider in the lower part.

The £5 cotoneaster

I bought this cotoneaster in Burrs, England in 2011 at an auction for £5. In some time it will become a fine shohin.
