Storm Ciara on the way.

Looks like the forecasters are right about storm Ciara, so be prepared folks, batten down the hatches.

Take some precautions and be safe.

---------------------------------------

Trees off the benches and on the ground stops them from falling and breaking the pots.

Hope all my friends and their trees are safe.

Yet another Privet.

I tried to sell this Privet last year at a Bonsai boot sale, but alas no takers, so I decided to start working on it myself.

---------------------------------------------

First job was to find a front view.

Then a repot with a slight change of angle.

Well tied in with a good free draining compost.

A good start.

Privet Bonsai 2.

After my last post I added some wire to this Privet to spread the branches a little more.

----------------------------------------------

Before wiring.

After wiring to create an image.

All we need now is Spring to make it grow.

Privet bonsai.

This is my next task, a quite big Privet.

----------------------------------------

Just needs to be wired and styled and a bit of carving.

Natter night 3rd February 2020.

Boxy arrived a little early today and decided to do some more wiring on his Hornbeam.

Happy at his work.

Looking good mike.

Kevin brought this tree to show us how it is growing.

The front

The back, looks good from both sides.

Graham's Larch, as it was last week.

A lot of wiring to do, but many hands make light work.

After a tweak. Still to many branches and to long, but these will be trimmed after the buds break.

More Bigei pots.

I think this is all the rest of my collection of pot's by Bigei.

------------------------------------------------

The attention to detail and the finish on these pots make them one of my favourites.

I think I am just a pot nut.

I don't just collect Pots, I use them as well.
