Randy Knight in Europe - part 5

The next stop was at Peter Thali near luzern, Switzerland. What an impressive collection of collected European bonsai!
Peter worked on a fir tree, Abies alba. I have never ever seen a decent bonsai from this species. The one that Peter is working on will be the most impressive to my knowledge.

Then Randy had his unique chance to dig his first ever mugo pines. Number one was fine and number two was pretty good. He was a happy man. Jason, are you a bit jealous?
