Natter night 29th May 2017.

The weather was dull and overcast but the night was still as jovial as usual. The only tree to be brought was an Oak that belongs to Ken M so it had all the attention.

The Tokonama display for tonight.My Itoigawa Juniper and a Larch.


The front of the Oak before any work.


The back view.

I placed it in the Tokonama for a photo, but as it was getting dark I had to use the flash.


We did manage to sit outside for a while.


Mikes little brother, Steve, came along to pick up his Rock planting.


Margery also popped in earlier to collect her trees, that have been here on holiday.


Not a lot to work on, but still a good night with good company.

Last rays.

The last rays of sunshine on the trees.


It has been the best and warmest day so far this year.

Bonsai Thursday.

A really sunny and hot day so I thought I would remove all the dead flower stalks from my Hawthorn.


There were quite a lot to take off.


I also took the opportunity to clip the foliage as well.


Tokonoma display for today.
