Here's a short procumbens progression over about 8 mos. Just a simple garden variety purchased for cheap and its been a very healthy one so far. I'm not sure how well or poorly I'm tackling the foliage; it seems to get out of hand fairly quickly on this type and I'm not really sure what equates...

Hi Guys, I saw a link on the IBC regarding either the partial or complete sale of the Kennett Collection to be held in mid March in Hockessin, DE. This is probably the premier collection here on the east coast at the very least, so check out the link:D Take care...

I've seen so many excellent progressions throughout the forum, so I thought to start one of my own; they've become invaluable tools for everyone in a multitude of ways and to those who've taken the time and effort, thank you. So what is this thing? I bought it last year for $15 in what...

Wanted to share an old Hornbeam I had for years that fell victim to vandalism and is now making a resurgence:) This pic. was back a while ago (2yrs? I forget). I took down the damaged portions and left it alone to see how well it grew back. These were from this afternoon...

Wanted to share my first Ponderosa Pine purchased from Andy Smith at Golden Arrow Bonsai. I thought then that it was one of the strangest/ugliest looking pines I'd seen, but was really taken in by the alien-looking quality to it. I've been spending what time I can just now looking it over and...

I purchased a really nice kishu juniper from Chris Kirk at Telperion Farms a few months ago, so I thought to post a few pics to show one of the pieces I'll be working on next year. Front: Left: Right: I loved the movement in this tree from day one. I think it has a lot of...

Thought I'd try posting a few pics of some small junipers that survived the 6th circle of Hell's summer heat. These three arrived home after a trade, a few years ago, of a couple of crabapples and a Trident Maple. Over this past year so far I just let them grow without any...

Here we are once again at the end of another year. To all the B'Nuts. I hope all you ladies and gentlemen have the very best and safest Christmas Holiday and a prosperous and happy New Year. If there was any snow, I'd send a pic., but it's 55 degrees. Take care of yourselves, loved...

You know, I've never had the opportunity to collect a tree from the wild. I've taken a few shrubs and crabapple from my home and parents property; they were a lot of work to harvest and a joy to care for. But, I've never scoured the hills for material. I really appreciate the forum members who...

Here's some pics of material I purchased from Chris Kirk at Telfarms. I'm sure you guys and gals who've purchsed from him can attest to the quality of his material as well as his helpfulness. I'd like to add to his list of happy customers, he's one of the best. These are two junipers that...

Check this out- eltimbonsai.blogspot.com Put it through google translate and scroll down through the opening page. It's a long section on yamadori "collectors" in Spain. It'll make you cry to see how nature can be destroyed. I found it on the IBC and you can also just pull it up from...

A question posted on the IBC asked why there are no posts from Japanese bonsai artists on Western bonsai web forums. Two responses so far focused on the issues of respect and politeness or lack thereof on Western forums as an important reason, Do any of you have thoughts or insight on this?

Wanted to get some feedback from you guys. I've been trying to purchase some bonsai material from Hollow Creek Bonsai. Now, the material itself costs some pretty serious money, so I emailed them on 10/25 to check on availability of 3 pieces and asked if they would send some updated pics since...

Here are some pics from last winter of a small crabapple. I didn't let it fruit in order to conserve energy for spring work. One thing I wanted to do is establish a lower branch on the R. I was looking to give the appearance of old age, so I initially brought part of the R branch down...

Is it acceptable to consider a jinned branch as the first branch, second...etc? Or do they fit into a completely different classification for styling purposes?

Just wanted to share with you guys and get some opinions on the overall direction of a Korean Hornbeam. The first two were taken this spring and the plan was just to allow everything to grow out again and construct a new apex. The last two, were taken just a couple of...

This is one of my crabapples needing a change. The only part that really has any interest is the base and lower trunk. I removed the wire scarred branch on the left and took a look from a bunch of different angles to see if it was worth keeping the R trunk which made the whole thing look...

Here is a hornbeam that was initially purchased about 10 years ago. as you can see there is little remaining of what it used to be after someone took pruners to it. It really amazes me to see how much life some of these trees exhibit. I posted a few photos to show you guys where it is at today...

Here is the initial R side Here it is after the change...really sorry about the picture posting confusion.

Here is a small juniper that I've been working on for a while. It initially had a mushroom-cap apex, so I spent time re-orienting the top by about 90 degrees. I have an idea of the final result that reflects an older style of bonsai that I have seen in old photos and paintings. It has a way to...

I know this is really stupid question that probably has been answered a squillion times, but what is the easiest way to post photos? I use Picasa 3 and I've read the directions on the B-nut site, but I'm technologically challenged, so any advice for the simpleton is more than appreciated.:confused:
