Setting up the show stands

Hard at work at 08:30 or so this morning. Building their show stands are Phoenix Bonsai at the right and Dragon Bonsai to the left. The Dragon guys drove down from Wales, leaving home at 04:30. Yes, in the morning.

The lads' hard work paid off, here is the finished product for Dragon:

Beside the wisteria is another John's Amur maple. Beautiful, or what? We all know I'm not talking about John's booty...
