    thanks Ghosty I try my best

    that one in the black pot is a grafted Ficus Microcarpa retusus :)
    which is just ficus microcarpa with microcarpa retusus grafted to the top the retusus has nice smaller leaves on it but is slower growing

    its a pretty commonly found plant in bunnings though nowhere near as big

    its a nice plant that one I was stoked to find that plant when I started to uncover the roots I was even more happy
    I've been slowly revealing its roots over the last 3 years or so

    love the Chinese elm I have a couple of seedlings that came up in maple pots from a local nursery

    they have a huge one right next where they keep all their maples so there's usually always a few seedlings in any maples I get from them
    its a nice little extra bonus if you can keep em alive and be patient enough :)

    they're awesome plants perfect for bonsai with their tiny leaves

    thanks mate yeh I was very happy with how the root over rock ficus came out it was only buried for about 2 yrs

    I exposed it all about a year ago now and its coming along nicely its very firmly attached to the rock :)

    Yeh the one threaded through the deadwood is another old one I've just got to I did that one probably about 3-4 yrs ago when it was very ling and thin
    I havent touched it since its basically become one with the deadwood now I finally decided to prune the shit out of it and start giving it some more shape :)

    I try to do something a little different each time I've never actually bought a bonsai before I usually just buy cheap nursery stock and see what I can do
    lately I have bought a few stock plants from a bonsai nursery they're pretty damn expensive though but they do have some very nice trees

    i get much better success rates using a pair of tweezers, plucking pollen laden anthers and depositing them directly onto the pistils

    also much easier to clean the tweezers between pollinations etc

    Tweezers are the go thats exactly what I do paint brushes are annoying
