An update on my Wollemi Pine (Wollemia nobilis) Bonsai. Season's new growth is distinctly smaller than last years, so my take, it's starting to repond to the pot's confines. #AustralianNativeBonsai

4 November is the 150th National Day of the Kingdom of Tonga. It marks the introduction of its first written constitution on 4 November 4 1875. To celebrate I'm flying my Tongan Flag in Sydney. We had a fabulous short stay there last year.

I watered my Bonsais mid morning becauseof the heat. And 6.15pm comes & all survived this classic Sydney afternoon thunderstorm just now. (BTW, Cook Islands flag flown today) and NO hail, phew.

Went to Petra this morning. This is my introduction to the Treasury Building. #Petra

Sunday morning church service Tochni Cyprus.

My Sydney Red Gum (Angophora Costata) is just about to shed it's bark again. I'm going to lightly prune the new growth & cut away some of the deadwood.

My Plunket Mallee (Eucalyptus Curtisii) is really coming along. I've had to wire branches to change it's centre of gravity and it's responded nicely.

I get an enormous amount of pleasure from my miniature Bonsais. In this group there's 3 types of Ficus & a Eucalypt.

I was asked if I'd photoshopped my Bonsai Grass Tree (Xanthorrhoea Glauca) because it was a single photo, so here's a video. (And thankyou for thinking I had the computer skills to fake my proudest Bonsai moment). #AustralianNativeBonsai
