Dave´s freaky Mugo Pine

Dave collected this yamadori in late summer 2010. From all pines that Dave owns, this one is definitely my favorite! I´m strongly impressed about the powerful and extraordinary shape.

Pinus Mugo No. 6

That´s another pine, I´ve collected in spring 2010. I think it could become once a quite interesting literati.

Saxifraga Accents

The First one is S. Caesia and the second S. Paniculata. Both native plants in kusamono pots by Carlos Hebeisen (Takahama kiln, Switzerland).

How bizarre, how bizarre ...

No doubt, the new collected mountain-larch is the ugliest tree in my collection ... by mile! Anything but sexy ... ha? *G*

Multiple Trunks (Kabudachi)

This pine has also been collected in late summer 2010. Quite a nice workpiece for kabudachi!

Elegant Pine doing fine

This mugo pine has been collected in September 2010 and I´m sooo happy to see it living! It´s certainly not one of these crazy and squiggled yamadoris, but I really love the nice taper and the elegant movement.
