Poking around the new Cubits site, I stumbled upon this one and had to check in! I feel as though I crossed the Atlantic and landed in London! What a fabulous show. And apparently our carnivorous plants are making a hit across the sea! I hope they do well by you as they are most worthy and interesting plants to grow. They are always featured at the local garden shows, but anyone who tried to grow them the way they are staged at our local shows would be seriously disappointed very quickly.
Neilmuir, those are glorious bonsai. I live down the road from a very famous, on this side of the pond, large bonsai exhibit owned by Weyerhauser Corporation. Some of the plants are hundreds of years old. It has always been open to the public at no charge until this year. Due to the downturn in the economy, they have had to 'make redundant?' (I believe that is the correct term) the gardeners who kept the display in order, keeping only 1 person on staff to be a general caretaker until such time as they can reopen the exhibit. It is closed to the public until further notice.
Here is a link to a few photos of bonsai from that exhibit. I don't wish to derail your thread, but thought you might want to see them.
