Looks like a great show, some imaginative; containers, styles, accents, photos and one has to love the moose.

Awesome trees! I see a few pots that seem to be from the same potter. Any idea on who the potter is?

Hey Vin,

That pot, along with a few others that are in similar style are all custom made for the trees by a very talented member who makes his own custom pots for his own trees. They are fiberglass/cement. If you're interested in having some made, I can ask him if he's interested in being hired out. I could put you in touch with him. He's very humble, knowledgeable and talented. He also makes his own stands.

The cotoneaster raft pot, was also a custom made pot but by another member, well former member, who moved back to the UK. His name is Geoff Lloyd. I don't know what his current potting status is.

Then there's of course the Lenz trees and pots combos which I'm sure you noticed. Being well taken care of by another member of ours. I believe he also has Penelope in his collection.

The show's special guest judge was no other than Bjorn Bjorholm. He did say that for a local show, he enjoyed it very much. His walk through critique was also very informative!!

He has Penelope and didn't show it? I can respect that but I'm not sure that if it was in my possession I could resist showing it at every possible opportunity.

You and I both... but, let's just say he has quite a lot of impressive trees, and thankfully they rotate through the shows. Let me see if it is in his care still, and if so, perhaps I can coax for a fall show showing.
