Got me an upside down planting pot. I remember them being sold just about everywhere on line about 15 years ago. Looks like now - eBay only...
Inspired by @Cadillactaste.
Maybe I'll plant a curly willows in it next year.

rescued a black spruce (about 14 yrs)from a highway going into 2 lanes. there might be others..

Gorgeous tree

Volunteered again on my club's bonsai pavilion at the regional park. I rescued my Satinwood yesterday because the temperature was going to be to low for it outdoors last night.
We had 77 visitors today, so I spoke about bonsai for 6 hours.
A few trees that are still on display there:

Lovely glaze on that as well! I'm bit uncertain they are frost hardy. That was something I couldn't figure out. So I chose a tropical to prevent a cracking pot.

Super thrilled you've got yourself a pot...with plans of doing an upside-down tree! Truly a fun project!

I completely forgot I still had a few BRT seeds left from @Clicio ,so I'm soaking them. I don't hold out a lot of hope that they'll germinate, being 3 years old, but might as well give it a shot.

I got the kiln out of the van earlier this afternoon, 24" across. Planning to do a full digital conversion on this one.

Faith.
We never know, please let me know if they sprout!

After that last big planting in the swamp, I had some left over. I put them in a 5 gallon bucket, filled alway with water, a couple drops of bifenthrin to prevent mosquitoes, and didn’t touch them for almost 3 weeks. The time is now or they will die.

Today I took them out and wired them all with a 90 deg bend at the base. I planted them as a forest. I know I will have fun removing the wire next year.

Trimmed and re-wired T-Rex, my old green Atlas Cedar. Gotta love the old bark on this tree.

Great movement. It looks like it's flying!

I bought 7 shimpaku junipers to use for demonstrations and auction at our club show next month.

The last pottery class

Tried chattering

Finished ghoulie

Glazed this one, hoping it comes out nice after firing. I like how the shape came out.

Went to a Bonsai display and sale at the Hidden Lake Gardens in SE Michigan today. Bought a nice young Dawn Redwood, saw some great trees from people in the area and put a bid in on a Sara Raynor pot!

 

[leatherback]

Last two days I gave workshops at a bonsai show. Then I drove 300km, to tomorrow and the day after have my final exams as Nippon & Bonsai Germany recognized Bonsai Teacher An 8 year journey, with examination as independent "bonsai styler" in-between and now 2 years more for the teaching part.

Exciting times! Right now reviewing the material. Yes, all ~300 pages.

So yes, if you feel like bringing me over.. Open to interesting ideas

Planted a pine root over statue. I think this one’s a JRP because the needles are rather pokey. I grew it from seed, so I should know for sure. Unfortunately, the label faded to nothingness. The only other possibility is JBP because that’s the only other species I planted at the same time that looks remotely similar.
