I am looking for inspiration for a bonsai group with just 3 trees. I am contemplating do one BC group and would like to see some examples.
If you have or have seen any please post pictures or links.

So far all I got is the one from @Mellow Mullet

Bald Cypress Clump

Think forming asymmetrical triangles using the bases (dominant the most prominent). Don't put the main trunk directly in the center, makes things too static. Put the primary tree a bit off to one side, use the other two to support it. Keep trunks as close together as possible. That helps them relate to each other better in the composition. Avoid evenly spacing trees. Play around with various positions. Shorter trees can be used to force perspective when placed further towards the back. You also might think of shortening these a bit proportionately as well.

Funny that you say this. I viewed it as three trees. Perhaps because I always start at the nebari and look up.
