Snow

Big Scots pine in the snow. Even this bigger one is getting its branches bent a little by the weight of the snow.
















Small Scots. I flicked a bit of snow off the poor thing because some of the branches were bending rather a lot.


I'm hoping my new soil and pots are here in time to repot these pines for next year. The plastic yamadori pots don't give a great deal of dignity to them.

Young oaks. They should be OK i guess ?

Maple colours

Satsuki

I just got a copy of Alexander Kennedy's book the Floral Treasures of Japan. It should keep me busy for a few days.

There are some growing techniques used on Satsuki's that i want to learn about.

Got it off amazon second hand. Its a signed copy too.

As usual the Cat assists me.
