Gday folks!
Firstly, let me thank all you folks who have visited and commented in the past month or so. Sorry I haven't had a chance to reply - been a little distracted of late.
This is not to say that the Euc experiment has fallen by the wayside - indeed, it is in full swing! Over the next few weeks, I hope to present a number of progress pics. Stay tuned...
Joanie - If there's one thing I enjoy above all others in my Bonsai practise, it is "showing [you] the progress!" As long as the last photo I took is better than the one I took before it, I'm happy - even if the last photo I took still looks like crap.
If I can't show you refinement, I'll show you progress!
Pootsie - The proof of the pudding is in the pictures. I often find the most useful means of understanding roots are diagrams, illustrations and photos. Failing that, I
could resort to having some know-it-all show me in person...
(To be perfectly honest, I'm surprised and very pleased that the roots of the River Red have come this far.)
Brett - Thanks for the Banksia link: some nice looking trees there. (So far I haven't been able to understand Banksia growth, but we won't go into that here...) Please don't go calling me "The Aus Native Bonsai Master" just yet – I have yet to see whether any of them will survive the transition to ‘real’ pots. Keep us posted on your progress.
Thanks all.
FlyBri.
