Fish's Contest Twig

Okay,

Last year I bought some small Montpelier Maples and made a group with them, but that would count as existing training and would break the rules. Shame.

Soooo, what to do? $20 (or equivalent) ain't much, but then, I suppose that's the point. I managed to pick up a small chinese juniper for a tenner - ($ 15 or so). I thought that it would make a bunjin-gi type mother and child style.

Here it is from the nursery, with my proposed front.

After wiring, pruning and bark stripping, it looks a bit more tree-like...?

Finally,

Stuffed the little chap into a pot, lime sulphured the jin and tried to make a bit of effort with the presentation.

I present, for your delictation - "Mother and Child on Distant Mountain."
