Al,
I have many trees that I could have exhibited in this convention, but Jim VanLandingham and I agreed that it would be best to wait to show one of my top quality large trees first. This way everyone would understand just how serious I am about bonsai.
This tree is my first choice to exhibit. I would like to have it at next year's convention, but I am not sure if it will be ready. I still have a lot of work to do on the apex. My reason for wanting to show this tree is mainly because it is one of the largest trunked bougainvillea bonsai in the state of Florida. There are only two or three which are competing with it in trunk size; one being a pink pixie, which is quite impressive due to the fact that pink pixies take much longer to grow a large trunk than the purple variety.
