last one for now. The rest I'll put up in the gallery when Matt puts up the new one for me.

This is a great mame azalea.

OK. No offense intended, but the mame azalea looks like a chia pet to me. Someone obviously took a great deal of time and effort to achieve the effect, but...maybe a green velvet ball gown?

Really enjoyed your pine David.

Brian

Hi David, thanks for posting the pics, for some reason this post slipped my attention till today. Your pine looked real good and liked that clump juniper. I'm off to look at the gallery pics now,

cheers jonny.

David,

Looks like a great show...Thanks for those photos...And I do appreciate the extra time you spent in the gallery to name each tree...Some, of course are obvious, but not being a native of your country, there are several species I am not familiar with...

Wanted to take the opportunity to compliment you on the Maple root over rock...I am not a fan of Maples or the 'root over rock' style...I find most trees in this style are hard to believe, however in my humble judgement you have done a wonderful job making this one work...It could be a result of the photo, and seeing it only in 2D, but I think not...The roots seem to be mated with the rock very well...

Regards
Behr

Thanks Jonny and Behr.
It is still early spring here and the trident isn't even looking its best with it folage however at least it is clear enough to see the roots on the rock.

It was a great show which saw us break records in the number of attendees and money made which goes straight back into the club.
