Nonsense Rascal
Since when do they allow cameras in Gen Pop?
Usually burner phones don't have cameras.....
What are we talking about?

Did you get hugged Vance?You guys are too kind. I suppose, because I am so intimately connected to the tree, I don't look at it the same way you do, but I am most appreciative of your praise for the tree.
How is it that you think you have three seperate trees?
That does not mean you cannot seperate them. I have done that.
That is appreciated. There are a number of reasons for that rule that I won't go into here, but when people purchase tickets to enter they are agreeing to abide by any stated rules, including the no photography rule...whether they agree with them or not (@RickMartin ). I don't know if anyone has ever been asked to leave for taking photos, but some have definitely come close. I think most people are just oblivious and don't even see the signs, others think the rules don't apply to them. Then there are the "touchers" who insist on touching trees, stands, etc...I wonder if they would touch paintings in the National Gallery?Maybe Vance can post his picture when he gets home. We weren't supposed to take pictures, unless it was you of your own tree. I saw alot of people doing so, but out of respect, and not wanting to get thrown out, did not.
Ahhh. There it is.A really lousy picture against a white back ground. Best I could do under the circumstances. I had no delusions that the tree was going to win anything, just have it there was enough for me. Peculiar; this was the only Mugo displayed.

I have some younger Scots . I'll go look at themy to see what the young bark looks like but I think it's mugo.Mugo or scots?
I had nothing to play with and wire with copper for the first time, so bought a pine for 8€ in arboretum today. Lady said it was a scots pine seedling, they have a line of seedlings and they differ too much each from other. My guess is maybe it's mugo. What would you say?

I need to learn to keep my big mouth shut. I generally know the reason for the rule and i wont discuss that here either, but i will say that has turned me off from ever going to a nats show. I will shut up now.That is appreciated.

As for Vance's mugo, I don't know if I mentioned it in the other thread, but I thought it looked excellent. Good job, Vance, and congratulations!
Actually, I meant to edit that post and remove your name but got distracted - wasn't my intention to call you out in particular. Everyone is entitled to their opinion.I need to learn to keep my big mouth shut.

Well, there's a couple reasons. One is the obvious one - they're going to sell a book with all the trees pictured. If everyone has all the pictures, who's going to buy the book?I need to learn to keep my big mouth shut.

I didnt say the exhibitor shouldnt be able to. But now that you mention it a exhibitor is in bonsai he sees nice trees everyday, the gerneral public does not. I wonder how many people came of the street never seen a bonsai before, that if they could take pics might get them into bonsai, and unless im mistaken the book wasnt ready for them to get one to take home and look at and go ohhhh i want to try this. So who loses in this. The guy that walked in off the street, and the bonsai community for losing out on potential bonsai artist. And tou dont need a big expensive camera to take pics. I can see the dilemma with tripods set up, but a cell phone. Come on now.Well, there's a couple reasons. One is the obvious one - they're going to sell a book with all the trees pictured. If everyone has all the pictures, who's going to buy the book?
But also, if there were a lot of people in there setting up tripods all over the place, they interfere with the traffic flow as people move about the exhibit. And what if someone trips over a tripod stand ? Who's liable?
I took a couple pictures of my own trees, and had someone take a picture of me standing next to my tree.
Rick, why should the "General Population" be able to take photos but an Exhibiter not?
