24 Hours to Bonsai in Leinster

Well, we are almost there, only 24 hours until the first meeting of the Leinster Bonsai Club in Balbriggan.

Phil and I are popping down there for the evening, should be good craic with a reasonable crowd going, if everyone turns up who says they are going.

Exciting stuff seeing a club get off the ground again in the biggest city in Ireland. Great potential. Phil and I are offering support on behalf of the Northern Ireland Bonsai Society as well as going for our own fun and enjoyment.

A few of those attending have asked for a few sale trees to be brought so we will throw a few bits and pieces in the van but we are also bringing a tree each for display. We are hoping most people attending will bring a tree with them to make the night a bit special.

If you are planning on coming along and are reading this, help spread the word on social media.

Satsuki Flower Removal

The best was past for my Satsuki Azalea and it was time to remove the flowers to help conserve a little strength. It took a while but I got the all, just always make sure you get the seed pod too. These are the four flower types on this tree.

On Patrol…

This little fellow makes his patrol of my poly tunnel on a regular basis. I’ve had frogs in there for the last 10 years.

To much wine ?

At the Bonsai school a few weeks ago I had , what I thought, was a few glasses of wine. This I enjoyed.  Then Taxi home and Ian’s lovey wife picked me up the next morning for the workshop. This all went as planned. Only I left my camera at Ian’s overnight. These are what I found on Sunday night , well these are SOME of what I found, lesson learned.

Really don’t remeber taking these, untill the next shot.

All makes sense now :))

This is my little Pyracantha in full flower.

I have had this tree about 4 years and I just love it at this time of year.
