Collected in a bog while on the hunt for pines, this grass has turned out rather nice, if it’s even a grass!

Accent of the Day – Hosta Thumbelina
This is a new one for me that I got in a swap with Xavier over at petit-arbre.com

Accent of the Day – Hosta Gingee
Had this variety for ages and is well suited to accent pot culture. I have only just had it identified as Gingee by Bali Hai Nursery.
Pollen
Alot of trees seem to be having a good year as far as flowers go. I have seen a lot more flowers on pines, Scots, Mugo and Japanese White.
This ones a Mugo at Stephen’s house the other day. Anybody else seeing more of this this year?
This Common Juniper also at Stephen’s only had to be touched to raise a cloud of pollen.
Accent of the day – Lewisia
I have a lot of accent hitting their best at the moment, so I’m going to pop one or two up each day until I run out of plants or interest, whichever comes first 🙂

My New Baby
This is my latest acquisition, a Root over Rock Itiogawa Juniper from Willowbog Bonsai. This is it just as I bought it. I’m not working on it until the Peter Warren Workshop in September, but I will do a little clean up of the shari and bark and inner weak foliage.

The Wedding
Congratulations to Phil and Suse for what was a fantastic day out for all the guests sharing in their big day. Sun was shining, drink was flowing and the craic was mighty 🙂
Here is the day in photos for those who know them and want a closer look.
Well done Mark the Best Man, I think we worked well as a team on the day in keeping Phil right 😉 As a kind gesture, at the end of the day we swapped a cuff link, a nice moment.
And a big thanks to Suse and Phil making me walk into the top table to the the song, ‘Here Come The Girls’!! 😛
