This time demonstrators were William Valavanis and Ryan Neil from the US, Mauro Stemberger from Italy, Vaclav Novak from the Czech Republic and Jorge Campos from Spain. Both days demonstration lasted for 4-5 hours. Mainly we were watching Ryan Neil’s demo and W. Valavanis since they were simultaneously at the same stage. Walter Pall was there as moderator to brake a silence, and put more dynamic in show, by asking questions and explaining whats happening. Ryan Neil is obvious example how the most important thing in bonsai is intensity, dedication to bonsai. It doesn’t meters how long one practice bonsai, title, bloodline, only passion, that can not be performed, or artificially made.
Matija Triglav from Slovenia and Michael Fedducia from Florida were assisting to Ryan.
For the second time we have participated on Noelanders Thropy exhibition with our Mastic tree / Pistacia lentiscus.
Bonsai exhibition and overall organisation was at high level.
In the new issue on Bonsai Focus 1/2012 Jan/Feb is published photo of our Pistacia lentiscus on two pages. Photo is taken on exhibition Bonsai Autumn 7 this Summer in Switzerland.
In a few days we are taking this tree on another big exhibition Noelanders Throphy XIII in Belgium. New table for exhibition is done in Croatia. We are looking foward to this event.
Oriental Hornbeam before and after cut back. Last photo is virtual in new pot.
After three growing seasons the crown is becoming more dense an better. We have started shaping crown from zero, only 3 trunks were there (see more photos is gallery – Carpinus orientalis #2), without single thin branch. We have collected this Carpinus orinetalis because of impressive nebari, although we thought that 3 main trunks are not in good harmony and that it will be complicated to make a credible crown. But as new branches started to grow, our perspective have changed, and we can clearly see potential now. Last photo is virtual of future look.
