This Larch, collected in 2012, was styled and put into its current pot in March 2014. Unfortunately I never took a before picture of this one when I acquired it but the collected material needed very little effort to get it to look like it does now. It will be re-potted this year as soon as the weather will allow.
This is how it looked without wire at the start of the day
And this is how it looks at the moment
It has quite a nice nebari that is hidden by the soil at the moment. That will be sorted when it is re-potted into this Walsall Ceramics oval, in the next few weeks
This next one, a potentilla fruticosa, was dug from a friends garden about 2-3 years ago
This is how it looked shortly after I acquired it.
And this is how it looks at the moment with the new growth wired in
This is how it looked last September with a few late flowers on it.

Very nice, Robert! I’ve got a mature Potentilla in the garden that I’ve been meaning to dig up since I moved in. Maybe this year I’ll get round to it.
Thanks Ben, they make make nice bonsai, especially if you can find one with good movement in the trunk
