Nice tree. Brilliant pot! Eleven years from stump by Mario Komsta (a regular here on Bark). It's a Silverberry (Elaeagnus).
This Shimpaku planting on a slab by Mariusz Folda was exhibited at Noelanders Trophy in 2013. Though it's hard to tell for sure, my guess is that this is two separate trees, rather than a twin-trunked bonsai. In any case, I like the way the trunks complement each other with their similar deadwood and live veins. I also like the way the crowns have been opened up just a bit (rather than the perfectly full and smooth look you sometimes see on Shimpaku), though I wouldn't mind seeing them opened up a bit more so you could see a little more of the branching.
I haven't seen that many real Myrtle bonsai and of the ones I have seen, this one that belongs to Mauro Stemberger is by far the most impressive. Though the flowers aren't necessary to appreciate the tree, they add a nice touch.
Upside down bonsai. This Japanese maple and Mondo grass planting turned up in Bonsai Empire's facebook photos with this caption: Very original display of a Japanese Maple by Bill Valavanis! Pot and ceramic root stand by Dale Cochoy.
