Lad from the land, Cove from the Country. Bonsai grower, flag flyer, egalitarian world traveller. Living on Gadigal Country & You can find my Bonsais on "Upscrolled" under the name of LordHoweBanyan.
Such a treat to visit an Australian icon, genius polymath and very dear friend, Barry Jones AC yesterday, ahead of Barry turning 94 today. We talked science, research, climate, and politics. There was a bit to coverโฆ
It's the one day of the year I veg on the lounge. Along with my sadly departed best friend, Jeff, we'd sit & watch the #Bathurst1000 all day. To honour his memory, I've named one of my Japanese Black Pine for him.
Australia voted for better than more political dross. Can only imagine Wong, Marles, et al condemning any other country if there was even a hint of a live smiting being streamed to the world. Disgusting
Ask ON supporters to sing the 2nd verse of the national anthem & you'll quickly learn how much they love Australia.
Hi Craig, that's a Straw Man argument, I repeat, if a ON supporter loved their country they'd learn it's full national anthem without fail. It's a different discussion to say it's a poor song & as such ON supporters shouldn't learn it. See - Peter Wason's Straw Man Fallacy & Biased Reasoning.

My black She-oak (Allocasuarina littoralis) has developed beautiful bark to replicate that of it's in ground form. The bark is quite brittle & I avoid touching it as it falls away easily. #AustralianNativeBonsais
My Plunket Mallee (Eucalyptus Curtisii) bonsai is shortly to flower. It's had a tortuous life & has been heavily wired to bring it's centre of gravity back to the middle. The heavy rock acts as ballast as it's blown over many a time. I'll post again when it flowers. #AustralianNativeBonsais
My Red Cedar Bonsais (Toona Ciliata) is a forest/waterways tree that has a prized red timber for cabinet making. I bought lockdown tubestock & in 5ys they've flourished. My philosophy is to try to replicate their "in ground" characteristics, ie tall straight trunk. #AustralianNativeBonsais

Whฤnau, yesterday I posted a link to this documentary. Today, I am asking for your help to spread the word by clicking through to our community site, clicking on the share button, and sharing with other social media sites you are on. I am trying to achieve two things with this request. ๐ณ๐ฟ #NZPOL

I was really impressed with the team when they came to Palmerston North. They are passionate, knowledgeable, and downright determined to fight for a health care system that works for everyone. One of ...

My interest in growing non native Bonsai was piqued after visiting Tokyo's Bonsai museum - link๐. As a result I bought some Japanese Black Pines (Pinus thunbergii) early 2024 to try my hand. I'm not very good but it's an artform I'm enjoying self learning from YouTube. #1PBP kunio-kobayashi.com/en/
My #3 Coastal Banksia (Banksia integrifolia) bonsai is looking ok & has had good attempts & a successful flowering over the past few summers. Methinks it's flowering comes at the expense of a thicker canopy. #AustralianNativeBonsais
My #2 Coastal Banksia (Banksia integrifolia) bonsai is looking healthy & has good new growth. It's attempt to flower last year was a sad effort. Maybe this year we will get more development #AustralianNativeBonsais
My #1 Coastal Banksia (Banksia integrifolia) bonsai is looking very healthy & has a gorgeous canopy. Unlike it's siblings, it hasn't flowered yet despite being 10yrs+ old. #AustralianNativeBonsais
The thing about the Greens, versus PHON, is they won't receive endless free publicity. They'll need to be very strategic in how they get their message out, and really leverage non-traditional media channels. That's something Shoebridge appears to do well.
Senator David Shoebridge may you and your party annihilate the duopoly in 2028. #Auspol We need change

@alankohler.bsky.social Ooooh my wife & I will miss you too Alan. Your segment has brought us much entertainment & information for many years. Happy retirement.
Had 2 FOIs rejected by the Attorney-General's Dept under the rarely used s26(2) - all docs totally exempt from FOI. The docs relate to interference by the former AG, on two seperate occasions, in the appointment process for NACC Dep Com positions. Have appealed both decisions.
Will be amazing. So much respect for azalea and what it can take in root reduction.
I've condensed my carnivorous plants into a true bog garden.
You may need to search this string to reacquaint yourself with my Azalea challenge. I took an old established bush from the garden maybe40+yrs old. This is the one remaining piece in a pot & has flowered. I'll pop it into a Bonsai pot next spring.
The Azalea Challenge is still ongoing. Cleared some more undergrowth & getting a feel for the best trunks etc.
Fascist stooge @libertydieslowly.bsky.social blocked me for sharing this, it's Australian TV documentary "Stone Cold Justice". The fascists don't want people knowing how evil they've been to Palestinians or their children, or for how long. First broadcast in 2014: vimeo.com/86575949

Is our part increasing climate damage on us & our pacific neighbours, increasing the obscene wealth foreign companies make ripping off Aussies, destruction of 60k+ yrs of sacred indigenous sites, more Aussies living in poverty, loss of sovereignty & freedoms to a secretive corrupt #auspol????
