You'll be seeing more of them if I have my way.I don't see many Jack pine, but I do enjoy these ones I see every so often.

That is exciting!You'll be seeing more of them if I have my way.
Ok...
So, how do the trees that inspire you relate to the trees on your bench? They're radically different.
Well then, are there some Penjing, Saikei &a Groupings that you particularly admire?Hi again Adair, being inspired does not compel me to try and Emulate or copy, simply put,,, it inspires me to do the best I can on whatever I decide to do...
I think some of your Bonsai are near Masterpiece or actually Masterpiece and inspire me to do well in whatever I choose to Bonsai...
I favor building-growing Penjing, Saikei & Groupings because they give me almost instant Gratification and I get to use my imagination moreso than on a Singular Maple or Juniper.
Thanks for asking...

None. But then again.. That's not really a forest now it it Maarten?Look at this one and tell me how many masterpieces you see:

I personally disagree. Some of the best forests andpenjin are actually made out of trees that could be specimen bonsai too.
Not going to answer. Working on my likeabilitywhat would you call it then?
Suzuki's tree is in a far better pot than mine! My pot is a cheap copy!And you have done very well, needless to say, is the pot a Sarah Rayner... it has that look...
Oddly the Susuzi you show is in the same pot as yours is in...whats up with that...???
I like some of Lew Bullers Saikei...one looks like this...
Shimpaku Juniper and Ying rock with a small stream coming from under rocks and a boy fishing...I put this together in 2014.

And it is budding out very well. Virtually every terminal is producing two evenly sized candles. When they fully mature this summer, the tree will be triple dense as it is in that picture. (It looked a bit sparce! I had just stripped off the old needles.)This tree is featured in another thread by @Adair M - it is JWP foliage on a lodgepole trunk.
Nice stuff, indeed.
I am confident that nearly everyone here can draw a reasonable conclusion about each of our contributions to this site....however it shows a side of BVF that is not exactly Understanding of Bonsai Forum or Thread Discussion...
The one with the lodgepole trunk is. I'm not sure about the smaller one. Definitely not a Sara Rayner. It is double chopped.I am confident that nearly everyone here can draw a reasonable conclusion about each of our contributions to this site.
And BTW, Adair's pot is more likely a Syuzan than a Sara Rayner. Daylight and dark.
Hard to tell with all those leaves!
