Just added another blog to my favourites list.
Nichigo Bonsai is Joe’s Australian Bonsai Blog and has some great posts about Japanese Black Pine. Also nice to see recent photographs of Spring! Gives me something to look forward to as we plunge into this Winter.
As usual, click on the image below to pay Joe a visit.
I know I’m UK based but my stats for this blog tell me I have a number of viewers in Florida. Therefore I thought I’d do my little bit to publicise this theft. This was posted on the IBC Forum Some @r$ehole just walked into a show and lifted the front door display tree and walked out, bold as you like!
This is the tree/s a group of Brazilian Raintrees.
Caught on CCTV but as usual, it’s poor quality.
This is a link to a local news story about the theft that has more details and who to contact if you spot the tree. NEWS-PRESS.COM
If they catch the guy they should stick those big spines from a Brazilian Raintree under his fingernails!!
Just an update on some of the colour creeping into my trees.
Fuji Cherry
Raulii
Japanese Maple
Crab Apple
Gingko
This Trident is still intent in growing never mind Autumn colour.
Spirea
Today I delivered my Trident maple to it’s new home. I think it’ll be very happy there. When I got to Hugh’s home I was blown away by his fantastic collection of Koi. Heated pool, fed automatically every 2 hours. … Continue reading
Even though I’m trying to cut down on the size of my collection, I just couldn’t pass up this little Cork Bark Elm. I have loads of Corkies, big and small after field growing them over the last 10 years. So why add this one to the collection??
For those of you across the UK who, like me, have had a shitty day with your BT Broadband dropping out, this clip on YouTube is just for you..
I only changed to BT last week, grumble, grumble…….
Last weekend Peter Snart of Willowbog Bonsai and I had a chat about bonsai and blogging. I think my enthusiasm for the subject took over and I agreed to help Peter set up a new blog covering all aspects of life at Willowbog Farm. Peter had previously blogged about wildlife in his local area. The new blog will cover Bonsai, Wildlife and all aspects of life at Willowbog.
I have enjoyed helping set up the blog and adding some of the photos. Today Peter decided to go public and I will now follow with interest life at Willowbog. Having spend last weekend there, I now truly appreciate the beauty of the place.

Last Photograph of my Trident Maple before I deliver it to it’s new owner tomorrow.
It’s been in my collection for about 10 years. Sad to see it go, however, as part of my efforts to reduce my collection size and up the quality, it had to go.
As it’s staying in Northern Ireland, I will still get to see it and watch it progress under new management.
Getting ready for the Willowbog Bonsai School next weekend. Many things need to be done to make it run smoothly but the most important task has been completed 🙂
My Sunday walk took me up Cavehill in Belfast. It’s been a while since I walked here and I forgot what a lung buster it is. I haven’t been fit enough to exercise much lately and this was a shock to my system. While most of the UK has been basking in sunshine this weekend we have had heavy rain, but sometimes this has a beauty of its own.
View before we entered the clouds, Belfast Harbour.
Maybe in 20 years time. Too young to collect.
Most of the Hawthorn have lost their leaves but it looks to have been a great year for berries.
Up top, not a lot to see!!
Gorrillas in the mist… my two brothers 🙂
More Autumn colour, and I don’t mean the cattle!
