Its rare in my experience that I get the opportunity to visit the garden of a fellow bonsai enthusiast. This week was an exception as Sauro, a friend from Glasgow, invited me over to see his extensive collection of trees and pots. Sauro, like myself, has a passion for smaller trees. Here are a few photographs of some of the trees that caught my attention. Apologies for the quality of some pictures, this was due to the strong evening sunlight.

Shohin white pine with a lichen covered trunk
Twisted trunk scots pine, these are a speciality of Sauro.
Nothofagus
Cork bark black pine
cotoneaster
Thyme
Larch
This larger semi cascade scots pine was styled over the winter by Bjorn Bjorholm, no less
Sauro’s dog Max, a poodle with attitude.
Many thanks to Sauro for a terrific evening and to Margaret for a lovely meal.
