CLUB MEETING SEP 8

We had a very small group at this month meeting, so we just met out on the patio of the craft room.
I was surprised when I saw the dragon fly sculpture in the first photo.
 
 
Gary brought in this maple which is growing over a rock. He was concerned that the base of the tree was not in contact with the rock. He can probably work the rock up into the root ball, when he repots it in the spring. 
 
This informal upright juniper  has a nice base and interesting movement in the trunk. Jeff's trees always look good.
 
I don't remember what kind of tree Jeff brought in but it may have been a cotoneaster. He had two broken branches which I helped him wire.  He covered the broken areas with tree sealer. 
 
Rosemary brought in this cotoneaster. It has some nice movement in the trunk. The lowest branch is very small and all the upper branches are quit heavy. I hope she brings it back, I would like to see what George or Kanemi would do with it.
 
Bob brought in a procumbens nana juniper cascade to work on. It looks really healthy. 
 
WHO MADE THIS, AND WHY DID THEY MAKE IT? I found this ball in the gutter in front of my house. It is almost a perfect sphere made of dry ornamental grass from my neighbors parkway. If you can solve this puzzle please let me know.
