Rhododendron

I have this azalea for almost a year now. You can see how I got it on the first picture. Almost the moment I got it I cut it drasticly.



It got pretty denser til today. It just seems the top branches will die off. Oh wel. Looks like the shaping will take just a little longer as planed.


Because I have the azalea over winter in a room where the temperature is around 3°C it started to grow allredy so I had to repot it. Usually we repot azaleas in may after blooming but i wont let it bloom. I will shape it first. So blooming would be a waste of energy.












So, finished...


...just have too water

First meeting of the year

So the events of year 2009 began. We opened the new season with a mid winter workshop.
The visit was pretty high. The first time I came withouth a tree. I took the new job on as an instructor and helped others.





Beside the workshop we held a small exhibition.














The success of the workshop made everyone laugh.

Winter really not over yet
