Wow! Such an equisite tree! Thanks so much for sharing, Jon. Very nice photos too!

Have you joined the Cape Town Bonsai Club? Belonging to a club is so beneficial. You learn a lot; get to partake in workshops with guest speakers; you meet new, like-minded people; you get supplies at a decent discount; plus there are perks and freebies to be had. Even tho I have to travel nearly an hour to my nearst club, it's well worth it! The annual membership fee is only $30.00 Canadian! I would highly recommend it.

Leslie i know i must hey, i have been wanting to for a while.. There are two in my immediate area, roughly 10-15 minutes drive, The Cape Bonsai Kai and the Oyama Bonsai Kai. I agree, there are discounts and there are lots of very skilled and knowledgeable people in these clubs. Cape Town is quite a large city with a large population however, we have this saying, Cape Town is a village. I have already met all the big boys of bonsai in cape town already and virtually everyone who practises the art and is part of a club. ITS AWESOME because we all know eachother and it makes it more personal. I will definately join a club, maybe both
