Gday team!
It is with a great sense of regret and shame that I admit that my pics of the BSV Annual Show are crap. I've just gotten the hang of taking flash photos against a black background, but the white walls of the old Caulfield Town Hall, my camera, and myself personally were not up to the task at hand. I hesitate to show my pics for the fact that they would not do the artists or their trees any justice. My first photographic exposé is a failure. 
That said, the Show itself was truly inspirational.
(At this point I must own up to having only attended two Bonsai shows in my life, and the first was the same show last year.) Highlights were an enormous Banksia serrata (informal upright), a couple of fat-bottomed Tridents and one brilliant Hawthorne. There were a handful of really nice Wisterias in bloom, and I normally am not a fan of Wisteria Bonsai. I shall endeavour to clean up the pics as best I can and post them.
I purchased $60 worth of stock - all in the one pot. It is a 3-trunked Lilly Pilly of some sort, with surface roots like I've never seen before. I think a few folks there were ready to lynch me as I left the building...
Brendan - sorry if I elbowed you out of the way when I was looking at the stock table. Ash - wish you could have been there.
Now all that's left to do is implore the BSV to do something about their website and general promotion of the event...
Later all - dinner's ready!
Fly.
