Aussie Bonsai
My sister who lives in Australia knows what a bonsai nut I am, in fact it was her that bought me my first tree back in 1993. She made the effort to visit a local bonsai exhibition over in Perth and took some photos for me. I thought I’d share them here as well. A real mix of trees and I really like the idea of working on bougainvillea. A few very nice accents in there too, she’s obviously figured out from my blog that I’m addicted in that area too 🙂 The display was put on by Bonsai Workshop Inc, and was supported by a local business, The Bonsai Emporium.
Thanks sis.

Ben’s Abode
After our visit to Timpany Ben invited us down to his home for a look around his trees. I hope he was ok with the fact that Stephen and I spent more time looking at his garden that at the bonsai! Nothing wrong with his fast growing collection of bonsai, it’s just that I had seen most of them before, but this was a first time in his garden. And what a garden it is. He has only been in the house for 5 years and has created this from scratch (With a lot of help from Emily 😉 ) I think you can tell that he’s a Gardener by trade, obviously a good one! The Alpine rock garden was fantastic, especially with the water feature. Some amazing plants in his beds, oh, and a few nice bonsai too 🙂
